I'm big on lore, so I do enjoy the deep history of Thedas and its people. However, the sheer amount of codices to pick up and read in a relatively short amount of actual game time, makes for disinterest. I'm playing a game, not reading a history book! Yeah I know I can just ignore them or read them later. But it's just sheer pages and pages of text. What could make it more interesting is if they were voiced as if by the writer (e.g., Brother Genitivi recounts his travels). Or, let the codices be different. Different shaped books pop up, different handwriting, you have to interact with the book (flip pages, scribble to uncover dust, apply a flame to reveal invisible text), etc. Entice the player to want to know about this rich world you've created. Some more history in cutscenes, too.

I have a few ideas on this topic. I wouldn’t want to remove them from the game or change the system dramatically, but framing codex with greater context to what you're doing within the story seems like a good step.

You’re welcome naughty99. Nothing definitive of course, but the thought has crossed my mind as well and I’d like to see if we can do something.

DAO codex was amazing. Whoever did the dwarves stuff was truly inspired. And the revenant entries still give me the shivers.

What DAO had (don't remember seeing it in DA2) was codex entries that were letters / journals / fragments written by random folk, and not just encyclopedia type entries. Love that kind of variety.

Completely agree. The codex, as with so many other game elements, was simply better thought out and executed in DA:O.

*sighs*

Er... the DA2 codex was still written in letters, journals, and fragments of books and texts. The writing style didn't change.
