I'm trying to choose the first story event on the map, the one where your manager says they want a driver to take pictures of a storm or the other one, I forgot. While there is an audible click when you drop a pin on a location, who knows whether it's an event or what. I wish the filter menu was narrated since when scrolling through the items with OCR I can't really tell which option my cursor is on. The story option filter is way down the list of filter options. So I clear the map, hit down once and check new stuff, which since I'm early should only show stuff needed to progress. Any tips on this? Perhaps one of the items I need to progress doesn't actually click when I move to it, just when I hit A to drop a pin on it.
