No.
Atari pushed it out before Troika could finish it.
Atari removed chunks of mature content so it was incomplete. Atari did not allow a patch to be produced in a timely fashion to fix the bugs that appeared because of their meddling. And a group of fans created a patch ahead of the official one, which was not taken lightly by the game magazines (bad press).

A really good game, with gorgeous graphics and excellent turn based combat (IMHO) pushed out the door to soon due to greed on the part of Atari. Troika (and the gamers) got screwed.

My 2 cents.
