Uh, topic title says most of it, really.

 

I think it'd be really cool if, after a (probably failed) Trial of Iron runthrough, the Biography would still be available for reading. Replace the save game with a read-only Biography screen. Possibly amended with a line about how/when your character died. (But that might be a lot of work?) Perhaps even an export function?

 

What're the chances this'll make it into a patch or the expansion?

Ooooh that is a good idea, I hope Obsidian does this at some point. It would be cool to see how far people got.

Agreed. The obit section for your failed heroes.

Also, it would be hilarious if they (or you) could write in how the character died

- After valiantly slaying the magic dragon, Hero was torn to pieces by a pack of wild dogs. Why, oh why, didn't he rest before venturing forth?

Great idea, would be pretty nifty. Sounds like it may take some work though since a save game is a save game, you can't load just a biography without a game save attached to it. Unless you mean just a .txt file or something you dig up in the save folder without loading anything directly in the game engine.
