Cataclysm-dda: Display scenario in message window at the start
So the root of the problem is that when I start a random character, I don't know which scenario I'm
playing. I can only guess based on my location etc.
At the start of the game the scenario story (which I can see in the character creation window), also maybe the character profession description should be dumped to message log.
Alternatively, this information could be seen through some other means, like the menus.

Why does it matter which scenario it is?

I could see it being nice having a little blurb at the start of the game sort of explaining what is up. Doesn't Dwarf Fortress do that in Adventure mode? It could also inform the player of a bit of lore.

Yes, immersion matters. It would be good to have.

After reading the backstories in #27174 and recalling that the PC can have dreams, I had the idea that the first dream of the PC could have a description of its life before the cataclysm.
Thus revealing the scenario and the profession.
