And hey! The Grimmopedia(Codex) can also serve as tutorials. Those ancestral books contain the strengths and weaknesses of all wesen, no? So maybe during campaign, after encountering a specific new type of wesen, they can catch a break back in the trailer(Nick's gang in the series took time to check back in the trailer, so why not?), search for information on that wesen, and a new tutorial level unlocks, and teach you how to most effectively defeat that wesen. And when the protagonist complete the tutorial, he/she can acquire the knowledge on that wesen, as well as unlocking a new page on the Codex.

That way, there won't be any more confusion of which one should serve as ancient stories - Archival film footages can be the stories(strictly story progressions) from the past and the Codex can serve as aid/guidebooks for new wesen encounterings. Both parts can play roles in the game and there would be no confusions.

Thoughts?
