Didn't rescue Cain

Just for kicks I went straight to Andariel, skipping most of the early quests (like rescuing Cain) to see what would happen.

In Lut Golein, Cain appeared (saying something like 'Bless the Rogues for finally rescuing me') and now he always charges me for identifying items. That's a nice touch, huh? :thumbup:

Going back to Act I, the Quest menu says that quest can no longer be completed.

Anyway, wasting money for item ID is no problem. Later, I'll follow the proper sequence in Nightmare and Hell.

But, have I already screwed up my character? Aside from wasting gold throughout Normal difficulty, have I permanently missed out on any skill/stat points, etc?

You haven't screwed up. You can still complete any quests you missed along the way, including the Cain quest. You just need to start a new game and do it there.

Start a new game, solo, enter act 1 and rescue him. Maybe you have to ignore what the quest window says. If it doesn't work for some reason, it's just free identifications in the according difficulty and a free magical or rare ring from Akara (depends on your level, don't ask me in which way)... although once I got a nice dual leech ring :).

only downside to not rescuing cain is that he will charge you 100 gold for each item to identify
