So... I've seen plenty of quest log scripts, and a super nifty bestiary.
But quest logs make things too easy for players who should be paying attention in the first place. XD
Instead what I'd like is to have something that Dragon Age used, which were codex entries. You'd find bits of paper, books, etc in your travels and the lore would be added for the player to read (or not) at their leisure. Having a complex fantasy world that I do, I'd like to be able to have this kind of information for the player in a Journal scene. It would need to have categories ofc, like... "Story" (up to the current point) "Locations," "Characters," and maybe "History." And whatever else the scripter feels like adding - or even just the functionality to add new categories as players see fit. That doesn't seem impossible, given there's a menu script that allows us to add and remove selections. This one, in fact: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/6418-xs-menu-delux/?hl=menu
Some examples for what I'm after:

Did find a good one from The Witcher, though:http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/games/2008/witcher/witcher-locations.jpg

Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!

The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
