The Lego Dimensions thread set an unusual precedent, but it's too soon to overturn it. Gameplay and story should be integrated for now; let's look at that part again a few years down the line.

I'll rephrase my "within the work" question to make it clearer what my intent was: Are video game instruction manuals valid? They're clearly not stories by themselves, so the only way to consider them valid is if they are treated as part of their respective games.
