So everybody and their dog seems to be arguing about the fact that Grimoire isn't going to be part of Destiny 2. Personally I come down on the side of the loss of Grimoire being a bad thing because it seems we risk losing out on the deeper lore without it, now lore is being given thtough scannables and dialogue and not text. However, those who disagree often seem to be missing some points. To clarify a few things: 1. No we do NOT have a problem with D2 having lore in the game. We all very much want to see an improvement in how available the lore is, since they are also improving the overall story and this will be beneficial for that. I repeat, more lore in the game is GOOD. 2. Yes, we understand Bungie has said the lore will be in the game, probably in the lore tab. What concerns us is that much of the deep lore of D1 was not something that could be neatly inserted into the game, and it might be that Bungie decide not to put lore like this into the game, or reduce and simplify it so it will fit in the format. We don't like that idea, as you can tell. 3. We do NOT want to stop people enjoying the story. Quite the opposite, the more people who can enjoy what Bungie has made, the better. As above, we want lore to be in the game for us all to find - we just also want to keep the stuff that really interests us. We definitely aren't out to hide the story from you or something. 4. We are aware that we don't know the details of how integrated lore in D2 will work yet. And, yes, there may be absolutely nothing for us to be worried about. However, since we have little to go on except what we have been told by Bungie, we are simply worried for the possibility that D2 doesn't offer what many of us are fond of from D1. 5. Forget about the YouTubers. Whether they care about the lore or just want to save their own channel is irrelevant. The actual player base that enjoys the lore doesn't have that problem - we just want the same, quality lore we love from D1. 6. We probably weren't the people who complained about Grimoire not being part of the game to begin with. Not sure why you think we are necessarily the same people. 7. We get that some of you don't care about lore. That's cool. Why this means we shouldn't care either is beyond me. We aren't asking you to stop enjoying the gameplay. So that is basically what I wanted to rant about. If I missed something my bad. And obviously I know most people are more reasonable and informed than the people I address this to. (And by 'We' I mean the reasonable part of the 'Grimoire is good for lore' argument, please go ahead and argue the unreasonable sort into the dirt if you like.) Edit: To clarify, I'm not pro-Grimoire per se; what I meant was that I'm for the Grimoire as a means of relaying lore to the community. I've amended some phrasing to make it clearer.
