Oh, absoulutely, the rip-off goes to the game designers. We (Jared and I) noticed and commented on it at the time when we first bought and played the game. It's a 2002 Microsoft PC game (which may or may not shed light on the rip-off propensity). Still fun to play if one wishes to kill monsters rather than bosses or children. Stress relief. It sounds as if the movie makers were trying to be true-ish to the game, at least.
In the intro to the game the character is a red-headed women, who starts as a peasant farmer. Her home is over run by orc wannabes. She gets fighting mad and starts learning how to get REVENGE (tm).
Actual game play allows one to pick gender and appearance. To follow the path of magic or the sword. Pick up NPCs of varying abilities, races, and classes to fill in the gaps in ones own abilities or lack thereof. With all the cliched niches being offered.

And yes, the king's wizard is an ignorant moron.
