Use your Journal and local conversations
Objectives appear as your own account advances.
Speak to an NPC at their actual place while free from a primary activity. The Journal shows currently offered, accepted, ready and completed accounts. Accept an offered account and follow only the objectives your character can currently see.
When an account is ready, return to its contact and choose an offered outcome. The choice and its authored result become a completed personal record. Reading a memory lets you revisit that outcome.
Supported NPC greetings can respond to meaningful completed work, acquired knowledge or quest progress. Repeating the same conversation without progress keeps its context stable. This wiki lists public locations but leaves investigation answers and unrevealed account details to play.
