As long as you're patient and skilled enough, you can finish the game solo and untwinked.

Well, let me rephrase that then (and also considering Occy's post). If you do not mind taking forever going from one WP to another, if you don't mind having to retreat and drink pots after every fight of more than 2 mo's and dying a lot, if you do not mind running away like a screeming schoolgirl upon seeing a boss pack, and if you do not mind forever shopping for a cruel sword of crap (and in act 3 it would take forever) then it is doable. Oh and also if you get lucky and find a unique elite in act1-2, but that can't be counted on.
Out of curiosity, have you done it? Also, out of curiosity, what is your experience with Barbs? I'll give you mine: I had either 5 or 6 lvl 90+ Barbs including 2 99s. I had 2 high 80's pre-D2X when it was very difficult to lvl after 85. More importantly, I have played with some of the best players out there. Please educate me.
Maybe you quit playing before 1.10 and the final Barb nerfs came out? That would certainly explain it.
