Wizardry II cannot be played from scratch.
You must first start your characters in the proving ground (Wiz I) before
transferring them to Wiz II.
Wiz II tells you this as well and suggests that your characters are at least
13th level before tranferring them across.

Many sequels contain information that refers to a previous game number.
While in many instances playing the games in sequence is not necessary,
it can help. eg: the Ultima series.

As for Wiz II, start with Wiz I or you won't be able to create characters.
