    I wouldn't say that they're all gone completely, some games include character dossiers and bestiaries as part of their gameplay features. Those are always fun to look through every time you get a new important person and whatnot. Not all games do it though unfortunately, it would be nice if more people did as it's always interesting to read through them if they don't come with manuals.

    This is one reason I enjoyed Mass Effect (1) so much, they really fleshed out the world. I'm one of those players that actually reads all that stuff or talks to every NPC before moving forward.

    ...or at least I was until Call of Duty ruined my attention span.
