I recall that in one of my old TUTU installs there was a feature which automatically displayed journal entries in the dialogue window. I thought it really added some color to the game and I was wondering if this feature exists for BGT_weidu... as part of a tweak pack or something?

I rarely remember to check my journal after completing quests, so that tweak clued me into a good deal of original bioware content that I had missed the first time around. Any suggestions?

It is possible, although the whole point was to make journal entries more readable in the journal screen by giving them titles. BGT-WeiDU gives all journal entries titles during core installation so that makes them easier to read in the journal screen, but only displays titles in the dialogue window. I suppose it is possible to remove the titles, but that would take quite some time and the tweak would screw up the journal screen journal entries. Any other comments?

Personally it doesn't worth ...

The journal is customizable and players can add/cancel/edit whatever they want and it is a nice feature of BG2 game.

Display in dialogue window for me is something unuseful or at least it is time badly spent ;)

Just my 2 cents,

It is unfortunate that you cannot get the best of both worlds.
