Scott again. :/
Why do you guys think the Rescue Da Barbs quest matters, and NOT Nihlathak? I'm stunned. How familiar are you peeps with the fictional storyline anyway? :huh:
Killing Nihlathak (everyone's favorite undead dude) is vitally important in terms of plotline. His death provides important information leading to the inherent weaknesses and whereabouts of Baal. Wheras rescuing da barbs is actually just a minor little Boy Scout errand designed chiefly to win you the gratitude of the rescued soldiers' wives (and 3 low-level runes!), as well as enable you to hire Barb mercs from their relieved commander.
*shrugs*
Go ahead. Fart around rescuing da barbs, then. Then try killing Baal again. And watch Nihlathak--still alive and kicking!!!--laugh his undead ass off at you... :P
EDIT: Ok i just noted the previous post wherein someone claimed they killed Baal in normal without having done ANY Act 5 quests. :/
I'm at a total loss, then. No idea. Grab a can of Raid and spray some around your comp, I hear it's great for killing bugs...
