📋 About This Mod

FEATURES

  • []One important reason why the vanilla journal feels like a mess is that it does not have separate tabs for different types of missions (main story, combat side quests, fetch quests). To circumvent the issue, this mod adds prefixes to the titles of journal entries, so that ordering missions by Name also orders them by type (e.g. for Delivery, when you need to return an item to someone on the Citadel). See below for more detail.

    []A large number of new journal entries have been added into the game, to better track the advancement of missions (e.g. you will now be able to see whether you already fetched an item, and need to deliver it. Or if you still need to scour the galaxy to find it). This also means that you will get more journal notifications, whenever the tracked progress of a quest is updated.

    []A number of quests that could remain stuck in the journal without possibility to complete them (e.g. the side quests on Omega) should now properly expire in the Journal.

    []New journal entries have also been added for the Completed stage of various missions, so that the aftermath of the completed task can be read from the Journal.

    []New journal entries have also been added for the Sleeping stage of various missions, so that missions that are currently impossible to move forward can easily be identified.

    []Shadow Broker Intel has been added in the text of various journal entries to provide more information about the precise destination of the next objective.
