Message Log?

How do we review the messages that appear then vanish in the text box?

"X has gained a level, Y has declared war on ...." I seem to catch the first few words then "poof" the message is gone before I finish reading.

I think there was a place in the character info UI in Viking Conquest where you could review all system messages that effect your character and companions. Is there a similar feature in Bannerlord?

Yes there was one in Warband too, so either it's not in atm or they aren't putting it in. I would guess it just needs to be added but is pretty far down the list of to do items.

This has been been driving me crazy. iirc, in Warband you could review the course of the whole game. Pressing Enter in Bannerlord will let you re-read the last few messages, but that's it.

Okay so I'm not crazy. I was hitting the "Return" hoping something would happen and didn't see anything in Keymapper. I understand it's EA just making sure I wasn't missing something.

It's insane that you cannot scroll up to see previous messages. This is the most basic functionality of any system that displays text.

Imagine any system of written communication where you're trying to get stuff done but everything just disappears six seconds whether you glance at it or not. What did my boss want me to do? Who just had a baby? Which bank was the overdraft?

You can, by pressing Enter/Return. But almost everything (such as battles/cutscenes/etc) clears the small Log window. And there's no Log archive like in Warband.
