I don't know too much about Battlespire, but lorewise it seems kinda cool. Gameplay-wise, not so much. From what I understand the story is that you're trying to reclaim the Battlespire, which is a tower connected to the various realms of Oblivion that was used to train Imperial Battlemages. That premise alone would at least pique my interest, so I can see why others would give it a try.

IIRC, you can actually cheese this game by shooting an arrow at an enemy, pausing, and then continuing to shoot arrows at them while paused. For some reason the game still lets you shoot arrows while paused, so you can literally stack as many arrows as you want and instakill any enemy. I believe this can work for Mehrunes Dagon as well.

The story premise is actually pretty cool! From my understanding, the Battlespire, a tower that is connected to Oblivion via portals within, has been taken over by the forces of Mehrunes Dagon, and you have to reclaim it after waking up and finding yourself trapped in the tower. Your battle with Dagon is so legendary that it severs the connection between the Battlespire and Oblivion, rendering it near useless for its original purpose of training Imperial Battlemages.
