I’m pretty sure the way it’s presented goes in line with the game’s. Unless there’s a sub book in each, no mystery? Or answer one, give another? If it’s not answered in game, I’d rather know what’s up through some means. Unless your looking for Kingdom Hearts type lore here, I’d stick with this model.
Where are those D1 writers anyway?

No, I’ve actually never played a kingdom hearts game (I know, sue me). But that was what was so much fun about the grimoire cards! Alpha Lupi dreams are probably one of the more confusing concepts, yet you can relate it into the game and keep the interpretations coming. With these new lore books, they kind of force you into certain questions they want you to wonder. For example, “where did Variks go? How is he going to be a Kell?” These questions are all presented at the end of the story, not throughout. There’s no special wording to guess on, no deeper plot to go off with. It’s kind of hard to thoroughly investigate a passage when no questions are given based off of the wording, only the questions Bungie forces you to recognize at the end. Hell, I’ll give you an example. [quote] Then they made war on the Ecumene for a thousand years, and exterminated them so wholly that nowhere except in this book are they remembered. This book and the mind of Taox, who was not found. And Savathûn said, “King Oryx, how will we feed our worms? Did you use my plan?” Oryx told the Hive: I am the Taken King, and here is my law.[/quote] [b]This was written 3 years ago, hinting at Savathûn’s plan.[/b] Of course, the books are new and fresh, but none of these books create that future event, that extra bit of detail no one is able to crack until more info is given. There has to be a link somewhere to decode it, but unless Bungie forced the question in the book, the answer is already in the book or common knowledge.

Thought about and most of it could easily be in game, extra/possible future stuff should be lore

KH changes its lore around but we’ll see if the payoff is worth it in KH3
