Guys, there is some incredible stuff in the grimoire! Seriously, it's kind of a tragedy that none of it will ever be seen by most players. Why not implement story-telling NPCs throughout the game (like Dark Souls).
For players, it'd be optional, elegant, and would help make the game a little bit more believable. Plant decorated Guardians of varying classes taking breaks in various locations where enemies don't spawn (tunnels, corridors, etc.) Give them Some of the stories from the Grimoire or new ones. Have them expound on the lore of whatever enemy is nearby. It would only cost some trifle expense for a few voice actors, an animator to do some idles, and an engineer to implement. Please think about this...

I don't know, I think Grimoire is the best format for lore/backstory
