I happen to be in agreement with you as far as the game being "unfinished" and the re-playability factor. It most definitely could have had a lot more avenues and challenges.
It did not stop me from enjoying the first play through though and I found it hard at times. The last fight in the Snake Temple was IMO the best fight of the game. Cet was a bigger disappointment than I could have ever imagined.
Finding this forum where I met a lot of good souls to share adventures with and being able to assist others made it worth everything.

Welcome to Ironworks BTW!
If they ever release Wixardry 8 for the PC, I am sure our paths will cross in that forum. Right now, I hear it is to be released for PS2 in November. It will be a hard truth to bear if it never makes it out to the PC gamers market.

Your self adventuring Wizardry 1 character is impressive indeed!
That game was a toughie!
