    [​IMG] Is there any of you that used the write-in-journal feature at all in the game? It comes in handy if you want to keep any extra notes on the quests and it does add a bit of realism but apart from that... I for one just check the quests sections.

    [​IMG] I haven't used it myself. I usually keep tabs onmy progree with the name of my save game and what to do next. It seems like a cool feature, especially if you might be away from the game for a while.

    I do use it. It's my habbit to keep notes of everything in game I'm playing, so here instead of paper I used this.
    See, you never know if muse will make you to write some shit walkthru. And if that happens, you load last saved game - voila!

    I prefer to use simple old paper for notes. Plus you can sketch stuff from the game if they impress you and the whole thing gets a bit more personal. Through BG2 I loved drawing a couple of dragons to go with my notes :)

    Nope, we don't. It's just for fun. Don't you ever sketch stuff that draw your attention?

    Untill now I have only used it once, and that was in Irenicus' dungeon, but about what I'm not sure...
    I think it's quite handy if you haven't got that bag of holding and you put some keys and documents in a chest. You can write it down in your little journal, just to be sure, so you know where you left it...
    Of course, I never needed that, 'cause my mind is good enough to remember that (But my character sure isn't! Inteligence of 2! hehe, all strength and no brains! ;))
