Right on the money (Destiny)

I said before that the problem isn't the Grimoire and it's not even that big of a problem that it isn't in the game, except that it is such a contrast to what is in the game, especially vanilla Destiny. I want a great story as much as anyone, along with great, compelling cutscenes that give us a reason to care about the action, but please don't scrimp on the flavor text and the excellent written stories that were so amazing in Destiny 1, and prompted us to wonder at mysteries and imagine what we couldn't see.

It's a perfect way to give nerds deep lore. Weird lore. Strange stories. Vague hints. Hidden caches of goodness.

If CGI or cut-scene production costs are high, then there will be a certain pressure to limit them to only the most absolutely required story points, which potentially pushes what is presented into generic territory.

As additions to an otherwise robust main story, there is no downside.
