I kind of like the Grimoire, but things like the Book of Sorrows need their own cinematics. If you didn't read that one, you basically have no idea what's going on, why the Hive are the Hive and why Oryx has his powers. "Sword Logic" is probably the biggest culprit here, and especially with us guardians now having a sword, it would have made even more symbolic sense to explain it. I haven't tried to do the raid yet, so maybe there will be something huge in terms of Story, but I doubt it. Since I have killed the first god in Vanilla Destiny (Think you can kill a god? Don't think I have a choice (still not sure if I should read this with a Conan the Barbar Accent, or more with a Clive Owen one from Shoot em Up)), I still don't feel like my powers a godly. Oryx annihilated entire galaxies, and yet, I struggle when 20 Yellow Cabal shoot me. Last but not least, the Grimoire talks about Tolland, and how he is confused about the fact that we do not take Oryx' place, after we defeat him. Since, going by the Grimoire, Sword Logic is at play, I should now be the most powerful being in the universe, as I was able to deny the former most powerful being its existence. So... Why do I not decide to become a God, or even the God of the Hive? My powers now exceed Oryx'. Please explain that outcome. Apart from that I like the new story telling, the NPCs I interact with finally feel alive thanks to more interactions and back story. Why I do things is much clearer structurated and explained than before. The story feels more coherent and some lose ends got tied together. The incorporation of deep lore, which gives us the real reason and motives for certain things, is completely inexistant as of now, however. (Books of Sorrow especially.) One thing I simply do not understand story wise, is why there are no alliances. There was a hint of it in the Praedyth Story, in which the Vex didn't attack us, but that's it. Everybody fights everyone wherever they meet, all of the time. Guardians are apparently able to play the game of Politics (Killing Alak Hul and denying him the Throne is a prime example. Fighting the Fallen to not let them reunite under the "wrong" (depends on the PoV) leader as well), but we have 0 alliances outside of the Reef. This is especially intriguing when you go into an area in which 2 factions fight against each other. Because as a guardian you can be sure of one thing: No matter how much the Cabal dislike the Hive, and how much the Hive dislike them, the moment you show up, they will both try to kill the guardians with high priority, instead of each other.
