Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Codex

Some times my character passes a skill check, and I feel like I fail in real life. For instance, my character recognizes Jergel. I have no clue who that is. Sure. I could google it, but that pulls me out of the game. If knowledge checks like that reveal something about the world, it would be nice if those checks unlocked a codex entry with a brief description of what my character knows about this thing.

+1

It'd be great if, similar to P:Km, when an unfamiliar term (location, mechanic, name, race) came up in dialogue you could hover over it/click it to get more information. Then all that information could be stored in your codex for viewing at any point.

It'd be great if this was combined with a bestiary where you could learn more about monsters as you face them. Characters could make nature or arcana checks when encountering a monster, and a pass would grant you more information. Either multiple successes would stack, or you'd get more information depending on how well you rolled. I'd prefer this system over what it is now, where you can right click a monster and learn everything about them, even their stats.

Another +1. This is a cool idea.

I figure that more tutorial and resources will be included at release, but I really like this idea for achieving it in an immersive way.

Yes! Give me:

+1 for sure. Great idea. Finally, something we can all agree on. I hope. 😁

Agree. I like it when in a game my character can learn more and more about monsters and enemies (their stats, skill, spells, tactics, vulnerabilities, resistances) along with the more experience they have with them (fighting with them), the more they read about them via books or the more stories they hear about them from npc-s and via successful arcana, nature checks for sure.
