At the moment in the timeline list view, it shows the time relationship between events by counting "up". An event is displayed as "4years later" in relation to the previous event. I would love the option to set a "present day" and then have the timeline list view show my events as "72 days ago/10 years ago/ 1,115 years ago" etc. 99% of the time, when I'm referencing my timeline in game it's because my players ask "when was X event" and being able to quickly say "Y years ago" would be really useful.
