Yup, this is exactly true. People who say Destiny(as in the entire universe of 'Destiny', not just the part that's on the disc) has no story are ignorants. It does and it's damn good. One of the most interesting lores I've seen and definitely gives stuff like raids so much more character. I actually feel bad for people who are too stubborn to read the cards since they miss out on so much. Everyone kills Oryx on King's Fall but not many know the truly intriquing story behind him and where he cane from. Oryx's story is the best example of the theme of Destiny's lore going way beyond the game itself.

Lore is top notch. There are some Grimoire cards I'd stack up against sci fi IP in terms of potential. The story [i]telling[/i], obviously, is lacking. But there's plenty of time to remedy that. What we have is an exceptionally solid foundation to work from.

What grimoire said do you recommend I read

I personally love the Grimoire Cards and am really bummed to not see them in-game. Here's my solution: a new addition to Destiny called the Library/Archives (still unsure on the name.) So you know all of those bookshelves next to the Speaker? If you walk up to those, you will see an option saying "access Library" and you will simply be able to read the Grimoire cards in-game. While it doesn't actually incorporate the lore into the story, at least it doesn't make you go to a separate website to read the lore.

"I drive myself to the edge of madness trying to explain the truth. It's so simple. Elegant like a knife point. It explains - this is not hyperbole, this is the farthest thing from exaggeration - EVERYTHING. But you lay it out and they stare at you like you've just been exhaling dust. Maybe they're missing some underlying scaffold of truth. Maybe they are all propped on a bed of lies that must be burned away. Why does anything exist? No no no no no don't reach for that word. There's no 'reason'. That's teleology and teleology will stitch your eyelids shut. Why do we have atoms? Because atomic matter is more stable than the primordial broth. Atoms defeated the broth. That was the first war. There were two ways to be and one of them won. And everything that came next was made of atoms. Atoms made stars. Stars made galaxies. Worlds simmered down to rock and acid and in those smoking primal seas the first living molecule learned to copy itself. All of this happened by the one law, the blind law, which exists without mind or meaning. It's the simplest law but it has no worshippers here (out there, though, out there - !) HOW DO I EXPLAIN IT it's so simple WHY DON'T YOU SEE Imagine three great nations under three great queens. The first queen writes a great book of law and her rule is just. The second queen builds a high tower and her people climb it to see the stars. The third queen raises an army and conquers everything. The future belongs to one of these queens. Her rule is harshest and her people are unhappy. But she rules. -Toland This explains everything, understand? This is why the universe is the way it is, and not some other way. Existence is a game that everything plays, and some strategies are winners: the ability to exist, to shape existence, to remake it so that your descendants - molecules or stars or people or ideas - will flourish, and others will find no ground to grow. And as the universe ticks on towards the close, the great players will face each other. In the next round there will be three queens and all of them will have armies, and now it will be a battle of swords - until one discovers the cannon, or the plague, or the killing word. Everything is becoming more ruthless and in the end only the most ruthless will remain (LOOK UP AT THE SKY) and they will hunt the territories of the night and extinguish the first glint of competition before it can even understand what it faces or why it has transgressed. This is the shape of victory: to rule the universe so absolutely that nothing will ever exist except by your consent. This is the queen at the end of time, whose sovereignty is eternal because no other sovereign can defeat it. And there is no reason for it, no more than there was reason for the victory of the atom. It is simply the winning play. Of course, it might be that there was another country, with other queens, and in this country they sat down together and made one law and one tower and one army to guard their borders. This is the dream of small minds: a gentle place ringed in spears. But I do not think those spears will hold against the queen of the country of armies. And that is all that will matter in the end."

Destiny has no story, lore =/= story as its too inaccurate and inconsistent.

It's not that I don't like to read, or don't want to, it's the fact that I play video games for the story in the game, not the story I'm supposed to be reading. I heard the lore is amazing, I just wish it was more interpreted into the game. Not all of it, just enough to make the story in the game make sense.

..I didn't buy a video game to read.

Yes more posts like this stop being lazy and read the grimoire it's so good.
