They didn’t add exploration

Fixd

Seriously, what is there to explore at all, in the first place? It's always an uneventful time-wasting jog to whatever point of interest you want to go. When said PoI is a dungeon (building with enemies to kill and loot), you can tell from the outside how the inside will be, 100% of the time. No unique loot, no unique quests, no unique anything

Scanning flora and fauna? What for? The slimmest exp gain, a "completed" thingy item that you can sell, it's one of the saddest attempts at padding. Besides, whatever drops you could get from them, you can buy straight from vendors.
