Story and progress
How many missions are there?

How do I unlock the other islands?

What happens if I fail a mission?
You can try it again from its marker. Getting wasted, getting busted or losing the person you are protecting fails most missions.
Do my choices change the ending?

Saving
How do I save?
Walk into the blue circle at a hideout. Hideouts are marked with a pink dot on the radar. See safehouses.
Can I save anywhere?
Choose Save and Quit from the pause menu and you will return to the same spot, but any mission you were on is abandoned.
Can I keep a car in the garage?
No. Hideouts have garages, but vehicles cannot be saved.
Races and side jobs
