You'll have six characters in your group as you explore the lands. Additionally, there seem to be two spaces to hold NPCs although we were unable to recruit anyone in the demo. The characters are pretty much standard fantasy characters, but in deference to the science fiction elements in Wizardry's plot, there's a new character called the gadgeteer. The demo shows its limitations, though, as you don't have any parts to assemble gadgets with. We'll have to wait until the game finds a home to see how this new class of character fits into the game. Meanwhile, Sir-Tech has promised to employ a character creation system that will allow you to pick your character's class. Gone are the days of rolling the virtual dice for hours to get that bishop or lord!

A personal note: Wizardry 7 has been released back in 1992, almost 9 years ago - I'm sure the game is done and the publisher deal is finalized, they're just waiting to make a full 10 years span after their last Wizardry release :) ok, ok, don't take this too serious, I just hope, we will see Wiz8 in 2001!!!
