Yeah IMO Bethesda totally succeeded in terrain generation. I've seen so many impressive scenes. Last night I saw several eclipses and watched a huge gas giant raise up above a moon's boulder-strewn surface, but the disc was totally black because the sun was behind it. Gradually I saw a crescent gas giant as the sun lit it up from one side.
I think the generation tech is great there maybe should be less content on the planets IMO. Sometimes it feels too crowded and busy even though you're way out on a remote hostile world.
Yeah they need to populate some more and depopulate others, they shouldn't all feel similar
Yes, variety. Right now they feel like they are all ~800m apart in a grid pattern.
