A big reason why the planet scanning is boring

hah. Hilarious. Some complain about too many side/fetch quests yet they seem to want more...fetch/side quests.

Hmm this makes me wonder if No Man's Sky unnamed protagonist is a true pathfinder. Naming planets or random animal life would have been nice even if it would have just been pick between two different names

This and Sudoku puzzles - who really thought either was a good idea.
I agree, ME1 made it fun and Me2, sometimes a new area was accesible and had a quest in it. This, nothing but very pretty but ultimately useless scenes.

I remember when one of the developers said in an interview said we could expect a lot of worlds

He said
"Other planets are smaller and won’t require getting the Nomad packed up. Planets house a bevy of different discoveries, as you’ll find colonies, hidden dungeons, minerals, and other secrets to unlock on your journey. “This is the biggest we’ve ever gone, in terms of the number of pieces of content,” Gamble says. “Although we have a lot of different areas to go to, we want to make it so whenever you go to those areas, you remember them.” Some planets are on the critical path; others are completely optional. BioWare is providing a lot to do when you’re out exploring, but wants to keep a fair amount optional so the player can choose how much they want to invest in the experience. "

Wait, do you have issues with the sudoku puzzles? They're dirt simple, except for that one side puzzle in one of the vaults. Elaaden I think.

Not fun and a pain - some were easy to do, others I struggled with, tbh.

I think they should have allowed the player some leeway in defining the planets. The protag is a Pathfiner, no? Then let the player log in the notes of interesting planets or some remark. Of course they must put interesting things about that planet so the player would have things to say. Provide a choice / list of descriptive definitions the player can pick after a new planet is scanned, it can be strictly scientific, funny or just plain observations that may or not may link with the main plot. Not for all of them, some of them, just to vary the scan planet experience. This will provide some interesting gameplay / immersion; you are the pathfinder, on the search to find new worlds, etc.

Oh, I do get it. Quite fucking well. This, quite simply, is a case where BioWare was going to catch shit, it doesn't matter what they did in the end about planet scanning.

And H-047C was part of a quest chain, not some randomly scanned planet.
