I stand corrected!

... er... I don't mind reading out-of-game content, but only if it's a supplemental curiosity. When you need it to make sense of the whole story, it becomes a bit annoying. Biographies for the Heavens' Ward are interesting because there's precious little information available on them in-game. On the other hand, this is a game - the advantage to the medium is that it's interactive, so using pure text out-of-game kind of... I dunno... defeats the purpose?

/shrug I'm getting pedantic and off-topic.
