Closing Remarks:
All of this came from the “In-Game Story Menu” exactly as it appears there. I just put it all on a notepad, and pasted it here. Nothing was changed. At least not intentionally.

I did not put up the MP On-line commands, because I don’t use them. I only play solo, but if it’s requested enough, I may do so. Otherwise, it’s the last set of key commands in the Story Menu.
