It occurred to me that I should start keeping some kind of document cataloging SRPG lore (to keep my story straight, so to speak). And what better place than in the game itself?
I’m going to start with NPCs, but I’d like to include key objects and locations as well, to give the player a reference guide for the knowledge they’ve acquired throughout the game. In particular, I want entries in the lorebook to unlock as the player learns new things (e.g. “Ranger Bob doesn’t like cats”).
I’m as yet undecided on whether the lorebook should simply be a command or a physical item in the player’s inventory. Leaning toward the latter.
