I remember playing the game until it crashed going from one scene to another…

It is the most frustrating thing that has happened to me… When I got to myself (after almost destroying the PC) I took the saved game to three different computers just to see the same crash again and again.

So I gave up, and I haven’t started the game because I don’t want the same crash to happen again.

I’m sure that I will start again, but it won’t be soon, so I have been searching a good site where I can read the story, but I haven’t found anything… Please someone tell me where I can find it… or someone who can tell me what happens after The Nameless One kills Ravel and escapes her maze.

You killed Ravel? I sweet-talked her. Anyway, after that you confront the real villian who happens to be your own mortality, which has been succored away in a special realm, but you have to clobber a lot of shades because it turns out that one is created everytime you fail to die, and they all hate you deeply. Once you destroy your mortality, you go to hell and immediately begin fighting in the eternal Blood Wars. Sic transit gloria mundi.

To expand on the above:

[spoiler]  
The Nameless One doesn’t necessarily destroy his separated mortality in a fight at the end. Earlier in the final levels, you discover split-off forms of yourself, representing your good, evil, and insane incarnations–you can talk all of them into becoming one with you again (which provides a rather large amount of bonuses–such as learning your name.) Armed with that, you can talk your mortality into becoming one with you again, and as your last act, resurrect all your fallen companions, before proceeding into Hell as you should have long ago.

But there is a long, long portion of the game in between those two events. All of the Outlands, Curst, Baator, and Gehenna.
