Saga export-to-file

Nexus discussion

I enjoy the "Saga of ..." feature. Is that only viewable in game or is it stored in a file somewhere that I could view outside of the game, similar to Take Notes? Do you plan to develop this further?

The Saga is built from a list of events linked with the Game Time at which they happened, all stored in the SKSE cosave. My idea with the Saga was to build a living record of your playthrough, so you could look back and remember who was traveling with you when you killed Maldoran, what you picked up there, and so on. I originally planned for this to be an in-game BOOK but that is technically either impossible or prohibitively difficult, so I hacked together a sort-of-book in the MCM. I had thought about allowing export of the data, maybe as HTML or more likely JSON form, for consumption offline.

The only other work I had planned was to clean up some of the cases where things happen in quick succession e.g. 'follower X left/joined/left/joined'; in/out location changes that occurred too close together. 'I left my house/ I forgot my keys so I went back in/I left my house again' is a bit too much RP to ask.

That would work for me. I periodically make my own comments about what's going on in my dovah's playthrough (I maintain a character sheet for each). I could combine the two w/ judicious copy/paste. :)
