The Mysteries and Controversies Surrounding Starfield

Bethesda's recent Starfield Direct showcased everything from ship customization to interstellar combat to the most detailed character creation system to ever appear in a Bethesda game. However, one vital detail was missing: how exactly are players supposed to explore a planet once they've landed on its surface?
