Grimoire Cards: "I love the stories"
Have you read your Grimoire Cards? They're filled with little snippets of lore and guardian legends and stories. It would be awesome to see some of that applied in game. But, these are a nice consolation prize. I just love them.
Have you found any notable Grimoire cards? I know I'm gonna be on the lookout for more Ghost Fragments. ^_^
EDIT: I just found a warlock card talking of the Ahamkara aka SPACE DRAGONS! Guys, not to get your hopes up but I think we may be seeing these beasties in the future.

3 RepliesThe Black Garden Card. [quote]I am Pujari. These are the visions I have had of the Black Garden. The Traveler moved across the face of the iron world. It opened the earth and stitched shut the sky. It made life possible. In these things there is always symmetry. Do you understand? This is not the beginning but it is the reason. The Garden grows in both directions. It grows into tomorrow and yesterday. The red flowers bloom forever. There are gardeners now. They came into the garden in vessels of bronze and they move through the groves in rivers of thought. This is the vision I had when I leapt from the Shores of Time and let myself sink: I walked beneath the blossoms. The light came from ahead and the shadows of the flowers were words. They said things but I will not write them here. At the end of the path grew a flower in the shape of a Ghost. I reached out to pluck it and it cut me with a thorn. I bled and the blood was Light. The Ghost said to me: You are a dead thing made by a dead power in the shape of the dead. All you will ever do is kill. You do not belong here. This is a place of life. The Traveler is life, I said. You are a creature of Darkness. You seek to deceive me. But I looked behind me, down the long slope where the blossoms tumbled in the warm wind and the great trees wept sap like blood or wine, and I felt doubt. When my Ghost raised me from the sea there was a thorn-cut in my left hand and it has not healed since. [/quote] SOOOOO, yeah the we're most likely the bad guys.

Ahamkara. Hindu word for "attachment or identification" of one's own ego. When your a baby, all you are is ego. Everything is about you. You cry for whatever you want. So when they talk about ego, they mean you being selfish. It's the reason the warlock in that grimore was being cocky. With that said. The ghost basically helps convince you, the Traveler you hold so dear to your heart is the reason the darkness came. Therefore, the traveler is the darkness. Read these as if there is a lesson to be learned. The grimore is more about character than plot. But that's bc the plot unfolds as you play.

3 RepliesI would love for a grimoire reading system to be implemented in game. Maybe like the Animus Database in Assassin's creed (go into the menu and find the lore snippets you've picked up). Also, the grimoire card on the black garden (there are two, one on the actual Garden and one is a Ghost fragment I believe, maybe just one, haven't check in a while) is interesting.
-
3 RepliesI highly suggest you find and look at the vex fragment cards. As well as the mysteries and legends cards. Those are really really good ones.

1 ReplyI love the Grimoire cards. They add so much depth and mystery to the Destiny universe. Too bad the game's actual storytelling is complete trash >:
-
They are cool but it feels like lazy story telling. These should be in game some and if you wanted more in depth than you could view the cards.
-
3 RepliesSo the only function of the cards is to get more detail about the story?
-
5 RepliesIf you like the cards, you should try Lost Odyssey. It's a jrpg, a big switch I know but it's a fantastic game with a similar lore system. Only difference is that the in-game story is also amazing lol.
-
2 RepliesYou can see Dragonesque creatures flying about on Venus, and allegedly that one thing in the sky over the Cosmodrome is also a dragon.
-
3 RepliesSure would be nice to read them in the game
-
1 ReplyYou did? I have the helm of Ahamkara, so, uh, interested... Where was the card?
-
3 Repliesi like them, especially the ones for enemies and their weapons, but they still shroud the story in mystery. weird.
-
1 ReplyThey're really good... just too bad I have to get onto my slow computer to learn ANYTHING about the lore and story
-
8 Repliesno i havent, they were not important enough to put in the game, so they have no importance at all imo.
-
3 RepliesI enjoy reading the Ghost Frag pieces Some of the stories that they tell are awesome

Edited by Titan Commandant: 9/25/2014 10:49:28 PMI didn't buy a Game to read a book. Partial Lore through actual writings is fine, Elder Scrolls has this down with all the books in its games...but it shouldn't be the majority of the story. That said, I'm a collector and have found somewhere around 25 Ghosts. I have yet to read more than half a dozen cards though.
