The way people talk about Halo 1-3's story... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Destiny)

Destiny's story is closest to their old Marathon Series, where there was no interaction and the only story evidence was random terminals. If the Grimore was in game, that would exactly describe Destiny.


[snip] That is, while moving the Grimoire in-game would be a huge improvement, it wouldn't solve core storytelling issues.

Not that I'd have any issues with a modern AAA game taking a pure Marathon approach. If it got good reviews we'd get some properly explosive Cody threads.

I agree that it wouldn't solve the core storytelling issues, but it certainly would improve player's emotional attachment to the game. Just think of some of those grimoire cards that fans have put to audio performances. I'm thinking specifically of the Thorn story. They wouldn't all have to be radio-play style performances, but some select few it would be amazing. How great would that be to have your ghost read/play/show-text to you for recently unlocked grimoire during your next loading screen/trip to the tower?
