Mostly Simple but Effective Improvements

Hi Bungie, As a developer I was thinking "what would be some good ways to address story issues had with Destiny?" Honestly, you have a ton of world building and things already made for the game but they are not in a place people go or notice. I am talking about the Grimoire. There is so much detail about the world in there but not everyone wants to access the site or app to find this content. Here are a few solutions I thought up that can work together or apart: 1 - Put the Grimoire in the game so players can read the cards. Also to spice things up, you can add video clips to give it a bit of an interactive feel. These videos can essentially be comprised of short gameplay clips. 2 - Load Screen story clips. Place Grimoire story text in the corner of the load screens in space. Based on the cards that a player has will dictate what is displayed. Players should also have the option of being able to turn this off if they don't want it to show on screen. 3 - Navigation menu story clips. Place Grimoire story text on the ghost navigation menu screen. This should also be based on cards unlocked and players should be able to choose if they want it to display or not. 4 - NPCs that tell parts of the story when you talk with them. When speaking with shop NPCs maybe have some of them detail parts of the story they couldn't while we were playing story missions. The Speaker would have more of a use for everyone because he can tell parts of the past that he did not have time to tell us earlier in the game. Maybe when in the shop for awhile the NPCs can start telling stories of the past. 5 - PSVita Companion App. You could create the companion app for the PSVita and also add the ability to use the system as a controller for the game. So players can view grimoire cards or their menu on the Vita and interact with things on the fly. But this requires a ton of work that you may not have the resources for. These are a few of the ideas I was thinking of how to address the game's current story and expand it in a way that everyone can hopefully enjoy. These may not be that simple to implement but the good part is that the data already exists. This would just leverage something great that was created but kept out of sight from players (options 1-3). The last 2 options would involve much more work as it will require building something complex and new. This is just a developer to developer chat. Would be cool to see these things implemented into the game because I want it to get even better because there is a ton of potential. Hopefully we will see the Grimoire make its way into the game in prevalent ways and thanks for your time.
