Let's be real here. Having to go to an outside website to find VERY important lore was a stupid choice. Having the actual story of the game chopped up into bits and pulled out of the game was a horribly shitty choice on Bungie's part and I hope they never do it again. But the Grimoire, while it was a bad choice to create, I'm glad that the info still exists. I love to read, and anything that deepens my understanding of an interesting sci-fi universe that i'm invested in will only pull me further into the game in terms of immersion. I'm all for the info being integrated into the game, but it worries me that we won't see written stories. Written stories take far less time, and by extension money, than cutscenes, scannables, or even just voice-acted logs. It's way easier to write a short story than to make a cutscene. I can't say that this is what will happen. But Luke Smith has suggested that Grimoire will be cut and, in my interpretation at least, this implies that there will be no written lore. There isn't any evidence of this that I have but that's the vibe I get from this whole debacle. If you don't like Grimoire, great. Just know that there are people that do. Byf, Myelin. The Ashen Conflux was created expressly to delve into the lore of the Destiny universe. There are people who like lore. That's the way it is. It's irrelevant if you think someone's stuck up- your opinion doesn't mean they shouldn't get to enjoy what they enjoy. If you read this far into the post, thanks. I really hope this can soothe some animosity. If you want, send me a pm and I'll talk to you, I'd love to hear any opinions you may have on this. Have a good day.
