In-Game Novel: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

* [[World of Warcraft]] has books scattered all over the game world containing pieces of the lore of the game. The expansion dropped this habit for the most part, as well as contradicting a lot of said lore in a massive [[Retcon]] to pave the way for the two new playable races.

* [[Ultima Online]] not only had books that were readable (though none as long as a full novel), you could also buy blank books and ''write'' your own story, for the public to read. Some of these could be quite epic in length.

* ''[[Mabinogi]]'' has literally dozens of readable books, ranging from a few pages to over 20. A handful concern game mechanics; but the majority are purely flavour text, and unnecessary to actual gameplay. Most of those are concerned with the main storyline for the game; but some are just standalone stories of adventurers, or musings by [[NPC]]s. Many are required for skill advancement, but only possession is necessary, reading them isn't.

* ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Galaxy]]'' contains a full illustrated children's book in the game. The book is substantial by video game standards, contains painted illustrations on each page, and could easily pass for an actual children's book. It details the backstory behind Rosalina.
