I hope Larian implements some kind of book UI similar to what has been done for the past 30 years. Small touches like this goes a long way. A dull UI is functional but not very immersive.
There was a post about this a bit ago, i'd vote for this:
Tome of Knowledge! That was amazing.
Absolutely agree. I've always hated long-winded "lore stuff" with a vengeance. My days playing text adventures are so over! Tying everything together in an elegant immersive package like that would get even me to fiddle around with the journal.
