Great game!

I noticed an odd problem in the endgame though. When I fight the demon of lies, if I use a scorpion trap during the fight, the demon freezes at the moment of death just as he splits open and erupts fire. He's gone as an opponent (I can't cast any more fighting spells) but it won't continue to the endgame video.
I also want to comment that it would have been nice to have a final conversation with my mentor rather than just the ending video... ah well, gotta save room for the sequel!

Here's the info on my system:

Which operating system, which service packs, additions, with/without Admin rights? I have Admin rights and am running XP Pro with all patches
Size of RAM - 256MB
Graphics card and driver version - Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller (built into the Dell system) using Driver Version 6.13.1.3442
additional hardware - driver versions - Not much in the way of extra hardware... a CD writer?
additional software running in the background (e.g. virtual drives? Anti virus programs, Internet, Firewall etc?) - Norton AV is about it
Size of swap file (regulated by OS or by fix value you put in?) - by OS
Game version and patch (e. g. clean install 1.029 + 1.033 or 1.029 + 1.032 + 1.033 later on?) 1.0.0.29 (exe version)
size of partition/hard drive, free space left - 40GB drive with about 10GB free
DirectX version - 8.1
colour depth 16 bit or 32 bit? - 32 bit in 1280x1024 mode
additionals: have you used a fix download before (Raze's zip files eg.), used the hex editor, No-CD-Crack, Zakaron's game editor etc? - none
exact description of the problem you are encountering


Thanks,

Mark

The problem with using a trap or summoned creature to kill the Demon of Lies should have been fixed in the 1.33/1.34 patch.


BTW, about the ending, posted by Marian in another topic;

*sigh*
I would have never thought that the language of pure image is so hard to understand. We have to think about that in the future...

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

Ascension "Blessing" cutscene
After you got sacrificed by the council of seven your spirit awakes in a divine realms on an altar. Around you the ideas of the seven gods are manifesting. You can roughly separate impish, human, elven or orcish gods...
Everyone of them grabs into their chest and puts a small part of the heart into your weightless shape. After you received all blessing the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> in you is fully developed and so her wings grow and she flies up to the mortal plane where she descends as the reborn hero into the wastelands.

Extro scene
You see the demon of lies dying. In fact you see the mutiliated body of janus ripped into pieces and the leftover, the sword of lies, remains. It comes closer and tries to seduce the hero. The hero is tempted to take it but refuses and sends it back to hell away from the mortal plane.
Then the hero hears the cries of the baby. Knowing that it is the lord of chaos inside the child he/she draws the dagger to kill it. In the hero's moral struggle to kill a neborn innocent child the scene fades out.
Much later you see the hero walk out victorious into the swamp area. He carries something. Loot? The child? You don't know for sure...
Somewhere on a distant hill Arhu and Zandalor watch you coming when suddenly the statue you lifted up in the sky while entering the katacombs of aleroth comes down finally...(side joke, nothing more)
