I find it hard to come up with a better way of providing background information than the Owlcat way: use highlighted hyperlinks in all text. The links to more information are unobtrusive; if you already know who Dyzalicobyn from the city of Q'twalla is, then don't click on those hyperlinks. Otherwise, quickly open a window to digest the information you need. It is very (cost) effective for both developers and players.
During the game's progress, more hyperlinks may become available, and hyperlinks can gradually provide more information. Help texts could also tie in with the quest system.
