: I dont think you should have too read a book to make the story not shallow; I
: didn't need to do that with Marathon.

Well, all those terminals are just about as long as a book... (each Marathon game has about 70-80 pages of Times 12 pt. text). The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of the terminals in Marathon, while they're great to read, would make absolutely horrible dialogue; I doubt anyone would want to sit in one place for five minutes hearing the Gheritt White terminal dictated to him. Perhaps it would have been a good idea for Bungie to put a few Marathon-style terminals in the game in addition to the dialogue, though that undoubtedly would have made the game feel less cinematic.
