I would agree with this. But on the opposite end, I believe it is fine to import the party from Crusaders to Wizardry 8. The same technique is used to de-level characters to about 5 and reset stats and skill points as well as strip items. The monastary and Road to Arnika was still tough. It is the conclusion of the Dark Savant saga so it seems to make sense to continue that confrontation with the same characters. Also, how great was it that the developers expected players to have their Wiz7 end game saved on a disk from 10 years ago.
