Essential improvements

Import characters

Characters can be imported from Wizardry: Bane of the Cosmic Forge saves.
The game offers several possible beginnings for imported parties. If player imports his/her party before completing Bane, the default beginning is given (the same as with new parties). The rest of the beginnings are reserved for each of the possible endings in Bane.
Bane of the Cosmic Forge uses different file extensions for regular saves and completed games (*.DBS or *.BCF).

Issues fixed

No keyboard input in menus

Most keyboard input is disabled in mouse mode; these steps switch to keyboard mode, allowing the game to be fully controlled with a keyboard.
Full keyboard input is also useful if you are wanting to play with a controller (use the DOSBox Mapper to change key assignments).
Instructions

Audio popping in PC speaker mode

The Steam version already includes this fix.[2]
