The game runs in DOSBox. Thus making achievements impossible to add as Steam has no way to hook onto that information.

As ExiledAlchemist says, without being reprogrammed in Windows, assuming they even still have the source code, adding achievements is nigh impossible. Moreover, it's not worth it financially for them. It’s a free game. Their programmer’s time is most definitely NOT free. IE - It’d be a net negative for them to do it, even if they wanted to.

The achievements are beating it & whatever else you decide along the way. It’s better than pointless meaningless achievements.

They do have the source code, although they did lose it for a while back a ways, but using source code for something that runs on MS-DOS to make a Windows 10 compatible version would be a monumental task.

I second the OP achievements would add some fun goals, full resolution options and a proper config menu in game would also be welcome, make it happen bethesda!

make your own goals like kill 100 enemies by punching for example dont need achievements to make goals for you to do

Seconding what VividSnake mentioned.

Making your own goals or your own personal achievements list. Whether that's a GoogleForm, your own Discord, a notepad, or if you have another TES:Arena community that is into personal achievement tracking.

You can do things such as level milestones, story milestones (escaping prison for example), equipping your first ebony weapon/armor, broke into your first house, pickpocketed for the first time, explored 20 dungeons, etc.
