Maps- have a graphical UI journal with the log combined?

[Blackfoot]

Not sure i like the idea of a map or minimap in the game itself.

But we do have a log.

I would like to see the log contained within a graphical UI journal the character could make notes in.

The journal could be an inventory item like a book.

Journal entry:

"Coastal highway- morning of day 32, found four small cabins just below the abandoned lookout and left a spare hatchet and some water in one"

Being able to sketch in the journal could be done by taking a small snapshot of the area you are in within the game mechanic while viewing the journal.

The snapshot could be a small radius like what you could see from the spot you are standing.

then as you travel you could piece together a crude map of your sketches.

I do know about the maps that are available, a lot of work went into those and i thank the creators.

Not sure how difficult this would be to implement, just throwing ideas around......

How do you feel about the journal being separate from the log?

Also, welcome to the forums

If there was a journal added and the log stayed the same i would feel warm and fuzzy.

Thanks for the welcome!

I am way down with this idea for the same reason I'm happy that the put the book and quill which is custom notes.

In not as concerned about a map, but writing my own notes would make it good for safe house supply has/needs, areas where animals are plentiful and stuff like that.
