*Counts to ten again*
Right!
Now where was I? Ah yes. "Cannot Complete ____ing Quest". Now how is it that a character can somehow fail to complete the "Kill Baal" part of the last quest in Nightmare when said character made the game, got through the game alone, and proceeded to completely annihilate the tendral tossing freak without any external player interferance whatsoever?
Well there are four choices.
1.) Have not snagged Halls of Pain WP
2.) Have not rescued any Barbarians from the highlands
3.) Have not killed Nihlathak.
4.) Waiting for good itamz before asking Larzuk to drill the holes that he promised.
I never do those first three! :( The Halls WP is out of the way and shuts the red portal, besides being on the way to Nihlathak who is just too annying to bother with historically. Sockets can wait until the items are worthy and as for those Barbarians, not rescuing those hairy damsels in distresses saves me the bother of lugging around the extra trio of runes which take up more space that I'm not supposed to have (according to the new disappearing item bylaws of Harrogath).
I understand (and support) the move to stick the thumbscrew on rushing, but it's not like I got portal'd anywhere by anybody. I actually played through and avoided a couple of side areas that bug the hell out of me. :(
So the question to Lurkers is quite simply, "In your experience, does anyone have a good idea of which of these four is the offending oversight on Blizzard's part?" I'm going have to go back and finish some crummy quest and defeat Baal again because of this thing. <_<
