I actually think the encyclopedia would be better if it didn't give you all the available information about every faction, character or place until you've actually discovered them for yourself.
Game concepts, fine - include all that from the start. Plus maybe some basic stuff about the faction whose culture your own character comes from.
But aside from that, let us open up the encyclopedia as we play, revealing the detailed connections and loyalties between characters and places as we find them or meet them.
I think my character needs to know something. They didn't spend their first 30 years of life living under a rock. It's hard to say character to character what's a character should know so I'm fine with the system of convenience.I actually think the encyclopedia would be better if it didn't give you all the available information about every faction, character or place until you've actually discovered them for yourself.

That would be interesting. Have it as a option so if people want to know all they couldI actually think the encyclopedia would be better if it didn't give you all the available information about every faction, character or place until you've actually discovered them for yourself.

Sounds similar to an idea I had a while back which was keeping a diary, would be completely optional but man would it add a lot to world-building and immersion, and of course characterization along with all the other supporting elements and features which are hopefully being worked on as we speak.I would like the ability to type my own notes in the encyclopedia. It would be a good way for me to keep up with grudges, and other little playthrough specific things.
I really enjoy an immersive story and keeping small notes specific to the current playthrough would help.
