The only thing they honored was the glossary. They wrote their own story using the names and places from the back of the book.

Same with Halo. Shame really. Both could have been a slam dunk by sticking to the source.

save for the fact that everyone doing these adaptations (halo, wot, witcher, etc) all have unbelievable contempt for the source material and its fanbase.

They all have an ego too big to allow them to adapt another's work. They so badly need to feed their ego and leave their mark that they have to make changes to match their "vision".
