Feature Request - Message Box Updates for BUFFS

Hi Team Beamdog!

Would it be possible for you to consider a new feature for the Message Box in future updates? Currently when party members are BUFFED before combat, we get tiny icons on their character portraits indicating the BUFFS they currently have running.

However, when these BUFFS fade all we get is an SFX indicating the BUFF has ended - and of course, the icon vanishes from the character portrait.

Feature Request:

In addition to the SFX, it would be very helpful if we could get a message in our Message Box indicating the BUFF has ended. Example, we cast bless and we get a message like this:

Dorn: Bless

When the BUFF runs out, could we get a second message like:

Dorn: Bless Ends


I hope that's not asking too much!

    The Jimfix mod already does this by adding expiration notifications to buffs and potions.

    I prefer to avoid mods and instead use the base game. Any chance the developers could bake this into the game in a future update?
