I am, actually. The protagonist of my game begins with some items in his inventory and some skills already unlocked. When the game begins, the alerts show all the items and skills the actor is spawning with, and it's a little jarring.
Later in the game, the protagonist will change to another actor in the database, and since it counts as a party member, it alerts that as well.
Also, is it possible to show the number of items the party receives? As it is right now, the alert only tells me I gained an item, like, say, a Potion. But what if I gained five, or ten Potions? It would be nice if the alerts displayed exactly how many items I'm receiving, without the need for me to go to the Items menu. It already does this for gold, so I don't believe this is much of a stretch.
I don't think this needs to extend to skills and achievements, just items and equipment.
