I put this in the suggestions, but I think this idea fits more here.

I believe we should turn the Marjory’s Journal item into a historian for the Living Story and the short stories that are written on the site and not in game. These can be written descriptions, or (more preferably) cut scenes in which show the events of the short stories. This ties in to the fact that Marjory herself is a detective, so it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for such a renowned detective to have investigated the pasts of characters and events.

I suggested this ages ago, having a journel you can click on to see the LS so far, complete with cutscenes, bios on characters, bestiary, and many more things that give a decent background to the game.

So I completely agree with the OP.

The thing about using Marjory, is that she isn’t actually a general detective. She actually has a personal quest that ties her strongly around the divinity’s reach political scene. Most of her energies are supposed to be spent there. While it’s alright for her to maybe have some data on say Scarlet, because Scarlet threatened the throne, it doesn’t make sense for her to start profiling people like Moto.

The way the story blog posts are written, they contain a lot of information that you are not supposed to have access to while in-character. As such, it does not make sense to disclose those information in game. As for the announced living story tracker, I’d suggest wait and see what they’re supposed to be put in there first before worrying about method of delivery. For all we know it could just be another tab in the UI with basic plotline summaries.
