I read this and the VoG threads... if this stuff was included in the game - instead of subtle hints- people wouldn't be trashing the story.

Aye, but the slow-feed helps extend the interest. The slower the community realizes it's there flaunting at us the entire time the more time it takes them to fully realize the scale and all the little grey-bits that aren't on that subtle cover. When all's said and done what's to be said? Extend it, and let the baseball bat hit them when they're ready. (If they can comprehend it anyway, met a few gents in-game that couldn't understand terms as simple as "effigy" when used in a sentence.)

I don't think the problem is comprehension. The main problem is the vast majority will not check the cards, nor should they be forced to. I think this was the worst decision by Bungie in this game. I agree though, DLC will continue the story, especially with Rasputin. Hopefully it will be more overt

People's willful ignorance and illiteracy is Bungie's fault? You get what you put in. The vocal minority here (and they are the minority, a few tens in a sea of millions of players), want to sit in a waterfall of loot while the boss jumps off the cliff giving them every item of loot. A game that would make them happy isn't a game I'd want to play.

Uh, that's a different topic entirely. Let's put it like this: if I'm assembling an argument in an academic paper and I placed all of my key points in footnotes, who's fault is that? The reader's for not reading the footnote, or is it mine for putting key facts in that footnote? I'm not one of those people who believes in the conspiracy that everything was changed. I think this was the story from the beginning, and the grimore cards were deliberately placed there as a means to explain the story and not interfere with the coop gameplay.
