Is 100% Planet Viability Earned to Easily?
I returned to Eos and once the viability was at 100% it seemed I kept "raising" the viability after that. Repeatedly and this is wrong to me.
These numbers need to be re-calibrated so that you ne...

In Mass Effect 2, there were all these things you could do and upgrades you could make. If you didn't do all the work necessary, people would die. If you did take the time to do everything you could to increase your odds to survive, your people survived... if not, they didn't.
Pretty straightforward and real consequences. It's why even though I hated mining in that game, I did it.
To take issue with them making 100% viability something that requires actual effort to earn and making that effort truly worth while would be like taking issue with Mass Effect 2 on that front.

I think the difference there is its a lot more in Andromeda than it ever was in ME2 though. In terms of time a whole lot more.
In Dragon Age Inquisition there are side collections you can do but if you don't it has no impact on the main story. Theres mosaic pieces you can find which when you have them all shows an image on the wall in the main room of Skyhold - cosmetic only. There are shards you can collect - the more you have the more doors you can open that lead to treasure chests - character benifit only. Because these things take a lot of time and aren't to everyone's tastes they only effect that one game and the character within it but not the story. The sheer amount of side quests on each planet in andromeda is much like these collections in my eyes. Not something that should be forced for the best story outcome but something that should at least hold some player appeal or whats really the point?
dont think I ever had a fully completed mosaic painting for DAI lol... Am just not great in doing quest like that, am ok staring at a blank wall but I would be absolutely annoyed with the game if I cant complete a main quest because of something like this, and main characters die and worlds end. And ME2 planet scanning isnt that important and it's not that difficult to get the required materials to get the 100 point of war assets, 50 points if you dont play multiplayer. As long as you played multiplayer or bought the DLCs, you could easily hit the best ending for your red blue green endings.

100% viability isn't part of the main quest. It is an optional thing you can do so even with what I am talking about, you would still be able to complete all the main quests and beat the game without getting any planet's viability to 100%.
To you, all that scanning wasn't difficult or tedious... that's your opinion, just like it may be (and definitely was) the opinion of others that it was difficult and or tedious but in the end, regardless of one's opinion, the ones that decided to put time into all the preparedness got to save everyone and those that didn't, didn't.
I don't even know what you're talking about with the mosaic which means I probably didn't do it either but I still got to beat the game.
