Quick walkthroughEdit

Detailed walkthroughEdit

Acadian Ideals is an overarching quest that has no actual target itself but serves as some sort of checklist for a number of different Acadia side quests instead.

• (Optional) Help Faraday starts the quest Data Recovery.
• (Optional) Help Chase starts the quest The Arrival.

Finishing any of these quests also marks the respective optional task of Acadian Ideals as complete. Once all active optional tasks are completed, Acadian Ideals will be considered finished as well, resulting in gaining the appropriate reward in XP.
