Don't pretend they are giving "bits and pieces" of an over arching story. I love the game for what it is but it holds absolutely no semblance of a story, it's like reading paragraph one of 5 different books then releasing an appendix (ahem grimoire) of shit we should have read but with no knowledge of how it came to be. TLDR: Not even bits and pieces to extend longevity, it's just gibberish and grimoire attempting to provide context.
