Basically, you will receive a journal early on in the game. As Miresa goes throughout her journey, she will write an entry after each major event. They will describe what just happened, and what the party needs to do next.
There will also be a sidequests section that will list all of the current sidequests the party has taken up. After the sidequest is finished, it will be removed from the journal.
The journal itself has three tabs. The first tab lists the latest journal entry. The second tab lists in chronological order all of the previous journal entries, (so you can read about your past journal if you wish), and the third tab lists all the current sidequests.
Here's a picture of the journals (Contains minor spoilers of some events at the beginning of the game. But not much.)

I like it so far--maybe we could consider this Miresa's diary?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. It would make more sense that way.
DeleteWhile I thought Dorian's purpose as a reminder was neat. One problem was that Dorian couldn't be everywhere. It wouldn't be as convenient to check your progress. But with the diary, the player can simply go to their key items bag and check their progress whenever they want, as well as keep track of all their sidequests.
Perhaps we can alter Dorian's purpose a bit. In the last draft, he mostly acted as a guide to the heroes for their spellsinging. Perhaps he can act as a mentor and frequently give advice or items based on spellsinging?
