This game's framerate is horrible, i do not know if its DOSBox's fault or if GOG messed something up, but the FPS will randomly drop at times to like 15 or even less and other times it runs smooth. When i load a save file the FPS jumps to something like 1000 for 1 second causing me to dash forward at the speed of light when i press W. This makes it really hard to fight and jump to certain areas. I wouldn't put this as a hardware issue as my PC is quite powerful but maybe if you have a crazy level PC you may be able to run this game better, or depending on what the problem is with it, it may run worse. I pushed through the bad framerate and managed to explore every location in the game and even got pretty far on the main story. You get really frustrated trying to play with the horrible fps problems to the point where you just quit due to frustration. I am an elder scrolls fan and also i really like redguard as a game. It has a very cool feel to it and i like the setting. The graphics are of course low quality but they give you an old school feel which i really enjoy even though i have never played this game before to feel nostalgic about it, i still do feel nostalgic somehow. When the frustration wears off, i go back to playing it just so i can finish it. When i do finish it, i probably will never replay it though, it is very frustrating to push through the FPS problems. This game is perfect for a Remaster or even Remake. If Bethesda themselves or a group of modders was to make this game playable on modern machines atleast at a solid 30 fps i would buy and play it again. I am not sure if GOG will try to improve performance on this game with updates, but as i write this review, near the end of 2021, it really is a bad experience concerning FPS.
