Steph appears in the lobby during Early Morning on the first day even if you skip the tutorial, but I agree that the tutorial is a great way to start the game. It would be even better if we visited the Marketing department before R&D so I can look at the contracts and choose a trait to match them after the Clarity tutorialplaying the tutoial to me is the optimal start if I didn't have to zoom through the departments. you have steph at office early morning on first day. easiest person in game to influence early, and only time you have access to her that early to flirt and chat., Plus you already started researching you suggestion before you apply your cheats to prevent you from getting past that early game goal
