Quoting Satrhan, reply 13Have you ever played Age of Wonders? One of my favorite parts were the unit discriptions. They were all in another tab from the unit's stats and abilities, but that didn't stop me from reading every single one of them.
But you are not me. I don't spend time to click a "Lore" button separately to pause playing. If the text is readily available, I will read it every now and then though.
So you do prefer to have lore on front page, instead of having more useful informations for actual gameplay there? And the reason for it is, that you just do not want to click once more, to read it? Even thought, that lore is something which you will read once maybe twice and do not look at it again, so it just wasting space instead of showing something more important for actual gameplay?
And the way its now, it looks like if the text do not fit in, you have to scroll it anyway, which means moving cursor there and scrolling down. Which will slow you down anyway. If there would be seperate tab for it, you could have it all in one window and instead of it have more informations which are needed for playing.
And all you people saying how much important lore is. Maybe for some hardcore players, or veterans. Most of the people appreciate gameplay over the story. And you can not do anything with it. Its nice to have and I do have some great memories because of it, but gameplay and usability is more important. And in long term, its gameplay mechanics and fun which will keep you playing, and not that you can read descriptions.
