I've felt the need for a list of names- Between quests, dialogue, books, notes, letters- I get a little lost.~
You mentioned using an out-of-game notepad- On the offchance that you're talking about something OS based, I figured it worth mentioning that the Steam Overlay now has a build in notepad function, and I believe it's even cloud-saved for future access. It's pretty robust, with as many tabs as you'd like, full markdown formatting, and you can even pin it to your game window so you can see it without having to Shift+Tab (You can set the opacity for this too).
