What do you mean by 'without end'? There should be a final cutscene when the Demon of Lies is defeated, which requires the play CD in an optical drive (if you were using the configuration file
edit to skip the intro videos, you wouldn't need the CD to start the game).
There was a bug, fixed in the
patch, which could cause the Demon of Lies to hang in mid death animation if it was killed by a scorpion or summoned / resurrected creature. In this case, you can either install the patch, or simply reload and kill him again, making sure your character gets the last hit in.
Some re-release versions of the game may already be updated to the latest 1.0034A version, as shown in the bottom right corner of the main menu, so would not need to be patched. The DVD version is already updated, and the patch (designed for the CD version) should not be installed.
If you just felt the final cutscene left the story unfinished, that was deliberate.

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" cutsceneAfter 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 sceneYou 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)
