This is absolutely correct. Wizardry is about number crunching.
Min/maxing.

I agree. 

I own the box, manual and strategy guide for this game. I got it
really really cheap on Ebay awhile back. What I don't own is the CDs
to install it. The auction made it very clear that the CDs were
missing which is why it was probably so cheap. ;) 

Now considering that I need a way to install it and the fact that I am
a big fan of this series, this game is a perfect fit for me and I am
very glad that I got to this key first.  For me personally, I don't
think you can top this one. Thank you very much for posting this.
