What if I don't want to watch those cut scenes while I'm playing. There are times that I'm on a time limit and go back later to read the stuff when I can't play.
There is no reason to not have it, the logic of having ingame only lore is outdated. You could still have your story and for those of us who enjoy collecting and reading the extra we can still enjoy the deep Lore.

Are you kidding me? If you don't have time to watch small cutscenes, you shouldn't even own the game and should stick to books. Honestly, that was one of the dumbest things I've heard yet.
-
Do you work a full time job, a part time job and have a 6 month old? Regardless of age or obligation, there are times when I want to play but don't have the time for a cut scene every other area or maybe just want more than what the cut scene gives. I've played many games that had great cut scenes and story but had so much more beyond that. You want me to pick up a book? I own many, read them often. Too bad destiny doesn't have any additional written content.... Oh yeah. It does, the grimoire cards.

You sort of backed out of your initial response. If you don't have time for a cutscene, then you may as well not be playing the game, or better yet, play the game for it's gameplay and not it's story. As I have said numerous times, this is Bungie's decision, I'm sure many sites will come up with a compilation of all the story into a third party site for your reading pleasure, and as I have said numerous times before to others, I'm sure the "Adventures" in patrol will act like those pointless stories about dead characters, but get this... They are all in game and actually have life behind the character instead of a card about a bunch of dead guys such as Dredgen Yor.
-
Okay, so what would be the problem of having both? You say it's a cheap way out. It's just a free, very chopped up, version of a novel that I would gladly buy if they sold. Since they haven't, I would greatly enjoy having the grimoire remain.
-
It just gives Bungie an excuse to be lazy with how they make the story. However, I don't care if it's there honestly, I just don't want to be hindered by a bunch of lore people that came out of know where to defend something as unimportant as Grimoire. I guess I just hated the irony of it, after begging for a competent story, people were upset Grimoire would no longer be a thing.
-
That's not irony. And the lore community has been around since day 1. There a lots of instances of stand alone e lore and a great story in game.... Bungie just seems to phone a lot of stuff in. Great game mechanics are only a portion of a good game.

The Grimoire fans have all been pretty hidden other than the ones that make the same posts trying to find out Dredgen Yor's fûcking identity for the twentieth time. As much as I agree about your last statement, I think grimoire and lore have to rely on a good in-game story; which Destiny 1 did not have; which is why the Grimoire seemed like fan-fiction written by a bunch of basement dwellers to me.
-
I read the grimoire a bunch while at work. It might be a bit easier for me because of that.
-
I understand what you mean. As long as grimoire is found in-game as well, I will have no problem... BUT, if it is found only out of game in any way, it will piss me off. Do we even know if grimoire will be a thing, but only in-game?
-
I know there was a read lore button during the reveal that didn't do anything. So it's possible they're just taking away the score option and are moving to it unlocking as you complete more.
-
I'd be fine with that, grimoire score was always just a redundant thing. Unlocking it is still fine and I'm sure we'll have too as than we could read the lore of everything at any time.
-
It's cool that it's being included in game but I still want to be able to read it outside of the game. If that is the system they're using I'd be good with that.
-
Many people will compile it into one area and many sites will probably be dedicated to it if there is no grimoire cards out of the game.
-
Yeah, if they don't have an app then I'll just find something else to read.
-
Sure there will be some somewhere, I understand what you mean. I don't agree with people that are assuming that lore in-game won't be as deep because it's in-game. I have read the grimoire and the deepest stuff was from the book of sorrows, which I would say isn't even close to a Rated R rating or Rated M rating.
-
When I say deep I mean the sheer volume of information. I've see. Very few games which include that level of detail in cut scenes. A lot of the time, extra info is cut for time.
-
As I said though, if a codex is involved, it won't be a problem.
