I am often in the midst of intense gaming experience and don't have the time to read the note that flashes on the upper left of the screen. Note include new locations identified on the map, new items added, new data files added to the Pip-boy, status changes, etc. Then, days later, I discover these items and have no idea where I got them.
I think it would be very helpful if every time a player "sleeps", the information received in this manner is reviewed. It would be similar to real-world experience where one wakes, perhaps has a cup of coffee, and reflects upon what happend yesterday and what to do today.
