Key points

Remake of Wizardry: Crusaders of the Dark Savant with updated visuals and narrator voice acting.
Characters can be imported from Wizardry: Bane of the Cosmic Forge (see Import characters).
At least the original retail version of Wizardry Gold is infamous for introducing several, even game-breaking bugs which did not exist on the original DOS version. Most famously, the Diplomacy skill doesn't work at all.

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

Game window is too small

The game always runs at windowboxed 640x400 so will be very small on high-resolution monitors.
Setting the game to run in 640x480 compatibility mode will make it fit the screen better but makes task-switching very difficult.
