Is there any way to read scenario descriptions or location descriptions in the digital versions? I only see the rules, but not the flavor/lore.

No.  Sadly, the game does not include the flavor text seen on the scenario and location cards.  

 

The scenario intro in the digital game, does cover most of the Rise of the Runelords plot, but there is still something missing in that the game does not have viewable copies of the original location/scenario/adventure/AP cards.

TBH, most of the location descriptions in RotR are awfully generic, and hardly give you any idea about how a location figures into the plot (so yeah, some flavor is lost, but no particular "lore" to speak of). In further tabletop sets it gets gradually better, but as far as ROtR goes - the app actually does better job of presenting the plot-centric locations in context than the original card game (especially in AD2).

 

Most people I know haven't even read the descriptions in the card game, so omitting them probably was only sensible for Obsidian. I can see how that irks the completionists though.

You can use the 'Mark Solved' button beneath a post that answers your topic or confirms it's not a bug.

The time that devs don't have to spend on the forum is a time they can spend on fixing the game.
