Damn this is great. (Destiny)

Clever Bungie: don't have a story and your fans will write one for you.

Much of this is quoted directly from Grimoire cards.

Right, but how many of those were presented sequentially? How many fans dig through them? I'm a sucker for lore; I read through what I thought were all the grimoire, and I knew about a quarter of this. The grimoire are like legos, and while I think legos are great, when I'm reading a story I'm kind of trying to see what someone else built with their legos. Bungie just gave us the legos, and now we're watching what another kid built with them (although, like I said before, this is great).

I guess I would appreciate the idea of the grimoire more if they were actually in the damn game. I didn't need to read all of the Halo books to enjoy the story in the Halo games.
