Going with Wizardry 6 was a good choice .
The character system is meaty and the combat is a good contender for the best iteration in a blob besides W7-8.
Despite the samey environmental visuals, the game manages to be rather atmospheric/immersive thanks to plentiful text descriptions and the story elements are pretty solid and at times unique too.
Moreover, puzzle-wise, besides the traditional lever/button stuff, there´s unusually prominent emphasis on more typical adventure game elements (using items at right places, sometimes combining items in inventory or telling an NPC the right thing).
In this regard I think it´s also the best balanced game in the W6-8 bunch - W7 goes sometimes overboard with difficulty/obscurity and in W8 the puzzle elements are relatively sparse.
Being able to continue with the same party in the two sequels is a cherry on the top .
