Hi Kara, So I'm at the part where your manager woman says "I got a couple request in and they're looking for a talented driver." I believe this is where you can either select the Jag barn find or the storm but I don't know if these are accolades or what? Unfortunately the actual accolades menu is locked at this stage, so it's strictly using the map here. Anna is also locked at this point. I know when I click on one of these the game will say, "Okay, I'll let them know you want that one." So I'm not sure if by default when I bring up the map if it's already filtered for ease of use as I think its basically finishing up the tutorial, or if I filter it down to stories I hold the left and right on dPad and I get one or two clickable things to click, and none appear to be what the game wants to progress. Any help would be appreciated.
