    I just submitted a question to Joe about improving Arytom's Journal in terms of looks and use. Do you think it should be improved or should stay the same? I would like to hear your ideas. :D

    This is what I suggested:

    I think that as a new key character is discovered that a Bio is unlocked about them. This will make the player more interested in the character, their history and for the mutants their vulnerable areas. For example In "Library" I totally missed the explanation on how to deal with Librarians and how to tackle them, so having it unlocked in the Journal as you encounter a Librarian for the first time would be useful.

    Weapon stats do not have to be accurate in terms of showing percentages. But some of it's characteristics like high recoil, overheats easily, prone to jamming or even value would be great.

    Information on the Station as you encounter them will also give a brief history about it's size and purpose.

    Acheivement List would be handy for those of us who like to 1000G a game. Having it in the journal instead of having to look online for what they are is very much needed.

    If it makes the journal too cluttered. Instead of having it in game, how about an improved War Journal type thing in the Menu System that is also similarly implemented in the Gears of War games.

    I like the idea of the journal, it would give the players (us) a lot of valuable info imho.

    While I don't realy agree on all of the things you wanted I agree that the journal needs to have more funktions.
    Basic weapons and station info would be ok, maybe the achievments as well. The rest? meh. It either would simplify too much (The map/routes) or make the journal too cluttered.

    Yep, having a massive archive of artwork and text at the main menu would be truly awesome! I really really hope they do this!

    As for in-game, I wouldn't want any tips to be shown, as it should be difficult, no matter what difficulty the player is on...
