90% of the time I miss the pop ups on the screen. Sometimes I come across people and missions that i have no recollection of the back story. It would be nice if the pip boy had some type of journal to keep track of people, places, alerts, mission backstories etc... I guess I was kinda spoiled by the wealth of information in Witcher 3

If you hover over a proper mission (not a Miscellaneous one) the little picture will eventually change to display text that offers at least some additional info. A more proper journal with full details and, ideally, full conversation trees you chose, would be fantastic.

I would like this also. With so many different missions going on and that I get side tracked way to easy it would be nice to have a reminder of why you are doing something.
