Havarl: Looks good, nice story Voeld: Again I like the look, and the stories on it are good too. Might be biased in favour of it because its too hot right now. Eos: My main problem with it is probably how often you go back to it. Elaaden; Its fine, bouncing on the dunes can be fun H-047c: The low gravity stuff was fine, but the planet isn't very interesting aside from Vetra's quest Kadara: Eh, I don't really like stories centered on bandits/pirates. And its not so pretty looking as the others.

Voeld was my favorite just because of the music. As long as the zone isn't hard to navigate, add a good soundtrack and it'll be my favorite. Also I always wanted squadmates to complain about my driving (which is horrible) they do it in Voeld.

It was really interesting to read your comment guys and gals. I think (after my second playthrough) that they really need to strike a better balance between too large and too small. The reason I liked H-047c was specifically as someone mentioned that the structure of the quest involved in the world recalled ME1. I start to think that the exploration shouldn't be on massive world, it should be on smaller worlds with a good main quest chain, a couple of solid secondary quests and the occasional loyalty mission and secrets. It should not be more otherwise it slows down the pace of the game. However to balance the smaller planets there should be more of them with different variety to keep the game fresh. It could also potentially help with the loading screens. I really like exploration and I'm still a strong supporter of it but I'd prefer if it served the narrative and not just being put there for the sake of it. Also quests that makes you go to multiple planets are kind of tedious because sometimes I have to go on a specific planet I 100% just to do that quest and have to suffer loading screens just to finish a small quest so better quest-placing is also advisable. I'm not a game dev. but I'd suspect that having smaller explorable world would be easier for BW to manage and offer a more focused experience. I will always support quality over quantity. EDIT: The lack of proper music while exploring also ruined the mood IMO. 100% agree. That probably has a lot to do with why Havarl was my favourite exploitable world. Making big open worlds with a tight narrative, strong character development and even pacing might not be impossible, but it's a challenge Bioware just didn't need to add to their plate.

Generally awesome landscape moments and new game excitement: Eos (reminds me of sedona and utah national parks which I am sure they were inspired by)
Pretty to look at sucky to drive category winners: Kadara (fuck them mountains even with max vertical boost)
Get to be a punk ass stand by renegade wannabe category winner: Kadara, watching sloane get shot
Unique feeling, something fresh and colorful winner: havarl - no driving, everything is purple and blue!!! Winner skyline too.
Boring vast wasteland of empty winner: Elaaden. Only thing that place is good for is driving at full speed, max boost.
Winner for most fun driving in a game ever: H-047 - seriously? Who knew driving in a video game could be so fun.
Voeld, while I love it, I cannot say why. I like the quests. I like the landscape. I have fun there but yet, I know it's nothing special. It's just fun for me.
Just a bunch of 2 cent opinions. Nothing more.
