The problem with this is that it's hard to have a reel or prior important moments to refer to without making it a spoiler. Is that seemingly inconsequential merchant you snubbed going to come back to haunt you 5 hours of game play from now? Well, it it immediately makes it to the recap reel, you know it was important before you maybe should.

It's sort of like watching Game of Thrones, and instead of seeing a prior episodes recap before the episode where it matters, you were able to check immediately after a scene to see if it would be worthy of a recap later. Sort of ruins some of the fun.

Other than that, this would be awesome. Maybe if there was some way to offer a recap immediately prior to it being relevant, so someone who was consistently playing could ignore and someone that might have forgotten portions could take advantage of. That does make it quite a bit more complicated though.
