Hi! Sometimes when my party members talk while I'm exploring, or some NPCs are having a conversation, I am not always quick enough to read what they said. English is not my native language and, while I understand most stuff, I am slower to comprehend the dialogue as I hear it than in my native language. Sometimes I don't understand more sophisticated and flowerful words or phrases that are often used in fantasy genre, and have to look them up. The problem is that when NPCs and party members talk, this dialogue is not recorded anywhere and I can't read it later if I missed anything. I am aware that there is a dialogue log in the journal but this log contains entries from conversations initiated by clicking on someone to initiate the dialogue and doesn't include the overheared stuff that you hear while exploring.

Now, my suggestion is to add maybe an additional tab to the combat log where this dialogue would appear so I could check parts of it that I missed. It would be a very nice quality of life addition in my opinion. What do you guys think? smile

Hello,

There is a log of all dialogues : it is accessible two ways.
- open the journal : find dialogues
- when in dialogue, at the bottom left, there are buttons. One of them is the log of dialogues.

But the log in the journal doesn't include party banter, does it? I made a quick image to show what I meant:

Agreed. And I dont want to go to a journal for something that was said 1 second ago. Players leaving the UI should be a last resort option, in general, for UX. That tab idea would help a lot.


What is the problem you are solving? Does your proposed change solve the problem? Is your change feasible? What else will be affected by your change? Will your change impact revenue? Does your change align with the goals and strategies of the organizations (Larian, WotC)?

Ah, ok, good point : the classical dialogue log tab in chat. Roger
