In 1997, most games were released on Windows 95+. Not Battlespire. TES Legends: Battlespire promised 3dfx accelerated graphics using the TES: Daggerfall engine. Neither 3dfx acceleration (due to memory limitations of the Voodoo1 series) nor Win95 support were part of Battlespire. Instead, a "focused" action RPG with strange dialogue choices was the result. The environments were relatively gorgeous for the time; however, the gameplay was clunky and downright frustrating. After many, many failed attempts at this game I used a walkthrough guide and was able to complete it amazingly enough. I'm reluctant to recommend it to anyone. If you are a fan of Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, etc. I would encourage exploring Daggerfall and trust that experience to be superior to what Battlespire has to offer. Battlespire (and Redguard) was at a time in Bethesda's history when the emerging technologies promised new opportunities and the development studio was not ready to abandon the success brought by Daggerfall and the antique technology driving it. Stick with Morrowind and the Elder Scrolls titles after it. Battlespire is a curious detour and not worth the time nor money.
