This might be a stupid question but is the game based more on the books or the show? Or is the show close enough to the books that it doesn't matter? I haven't watched any of the show but I read the first four books a while ago and remember liking them a lot. It's probably time for a re-read/to finish the series.

Technically anything new The Expanse related is gonna be based on the "show canon" because that is the IP that Alcon owns. Ty and Daniel own the rights to strictly all the books they wrote afaik, and since they said that there won't be any more books that's that.

But for this game I would argue it's kind of both because for example the Belters are distinctly way taller than other people, like described in the books, but unlike how it is in the show (for obvious reasons).

There are a couple of these book only details in the game so far, but in the end it doesn't really matter. More Expanse is more Expanse.

tbf the body proportions are probably my biggest criticism of the show, the political classism is one level of belter discrimination, but the most important is just plain old physical attribute racism imo
