"notepad" style journal to set dialog options

NoMoonGames

Hi

I would like to create the 'typical' investigator's notepad that the character can use to ask different questions like you can see in Kathy Rain (picture below) or some Wadjet Eye games like the Blackwell series:

I was wondering what would be the best way to do it, either using a journal or an inventory system, etc.

Thanks,
David

It's possible to auto-display Conversation dialogue options only if a particular inventory item is carried by the player, so you could concievably add these as regular dialogue options and manage their display via inventory.

Inventory items can be placed into categories, so you could concievably create a separate category for "investigation topics" that aren't displayed in your main inventory.

Thanks Chris! The inventory option categories sounds like a good option. Will work on that.
