I think The Witcher 3 does a pretty good job at recording and updating information about both people, monsters, placers and story development. So if you ever forget, you can just go back and read up on it.
Really? You had to remember alot of stuff in Witcher 3. I played it two weeks. Im supposed to remember it all, average people get drunk 4+ times during that time. I think Larian is facing similiar problems with BG3, no doubt this is long game like DOS2. I would use Narrator to fill you in, occasionally. I would also add somekind of zoom, to see what kind of locations/characters are in front of you, well around you, in tabletop games, DM usually do this, she/he tells abit about the area and city, and people, call it "dm zoom" if that makes sense.
Or how about Telltale's style? Previously happened?
