Keeping a journal
Posted: 21 Sep 2009, 23:12
Its well known that the best way to play this game is to keep a journal for yourself to keep track of spells and quests, but why is there no in game journal?
I'm thinking a small in-game app could add a lot in the way of helping players keep information straight.
How I picture it; there would be a "Journal" tab next to the other buttons at the top right (status, settings, ect...). When opened it would function just like any notepad-esq text editor for players to keep track of their quests and personal objectives.
I was also thinking that there could be a tab within the Journal that would separate the spell portion of the journal from the rest. The spell portion could be formatted to include a space for the name, invocation, requirements, and level.
This would be a small add to the game, but I feel it would do a lot of good in the way of ambiance (a journal in a rpg? go figure!), self accomplishment (no computer added quest lines, all written by the player), and ease of use.
