Maybe, maybe not; it was deliberately left ambiguous.

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)

I doubt it; I think they want the baby for a plot for the new DD.

I just finished the game for the first time, becoming level 49 after killing our dear Janus. And indeed i think he's carrying the baby, because why would he botter taking loot with him when he's got 300k and even stuff even worth twice as much <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

yes loot would be of no interest of the hero i think.
i had more then 1,3 milion in my inventorie alone!

I was a little dissapointed in the end.
i expected a conversation with Zandalor or something.
So after reading Marian's idee of the scene,

i also think that if <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />2 comes out , this child wil be a part of main story.
