Well? Go ahead and tell us. What kind of planets do you want to explore in the next Mass Effect game?
I would like to explore a desert planet, like Tatooine from KotOR. I would also like to visit a planet that has a very dense forest. It would be pretty awesome if some planets have severe weather conditions. Maybe a sandstorm rolls through the desert map, or the forest map gets a torrential downpour.
Your turn.
A planet that has hurricanes the size of a continent.
A planet with tornadoes as big as a city
A planet with life that lives under ground that never goes above ground
A planet with bigger monsters than a thrasher maw
A planet with never ending earthquakes
A planet with 4 moons in a system with 3 suns
If you asked me this some years ago I would say without hesitation: a planet with a ring on it. Good for me, Mass Effect did that already, twice.
Other than that. I'm sure I have particular interests but I can't bring them up now. Mostly I want planets that look alien, that takes on feature of Earth but extend it to extraordinary lengths, like themikefest said, stuff like tornadoes as big as cities.
I want to explore worlds that are truly alien looking. Like something we've never seen before.
Remember those 2 planets from Interstellar? Something like that.
A planet where you find that plot relevant artifact or whatever.

water planets like manaan
What can basically be summarized is since it seems were heading back to a Mass Effect 1 planetary exploration system, we want more interesting environmental hazards. Hurricanes, storms and other deadly stuff instead of just a beeping thing on the HUD saying 'level x heat hazard' that just drains our shields and health.
The hazard on Haestrom in ME2 was good, but something like that only works well when the level is built around it like it actually was. On open terrain it would only be frustrating.
The kind with green alien babes.
I'd like a wide variety of environments that all feel alien. Trees that are unlike any on Earth, deserts of green sand, arctic planets with mountains of dry ice instead of rock and water ice, stuff like that.

Excuse me. I have to go to the bathroom for, like, a long time.
My main problem with all of these highly rated next gen action adventure games like Mordor and Witcher 3 are the lack of variety in the locales you explore. They may be big but the locales all look the same and there is nothing special about them other than they are really large.
I want interesting and diverse places to travel to. I want scope and grandeur, I want to look up and say "wow" when I see the next area I am about to head into. I don't just want another hill with some rocks and some trees. I want an alien locale to look ALIEN...but strangely still relatable so as not to be completely psychedelic and random. To date the only next gen game with truly interesting looking locales is Destiny but that game has it's own massive set of problems.
Also to it's credit the locales in DA:I were the most interesting thing about the game but unfortunately it didn't have the physical minute to minute gameplay to back it up.
I truly hope BW doesn't follow this trend of having a big bland looking cut and paste world that has little more than massive size going for it. But at the same time they absolutely MUST deliver on the physical minute to minute gameplay in the way that ME3 did.
I know it won't be easy but Bioware Montreal has shown some serious skills with the way they delivered on the mp and Omega so I know they can do it if EA stays out of the way and gives them the chance to do what they do best.
Perhaps some more "Ghost" planets similiar to Illos, Haestrom, some of the Galaxy map planets, and Tau Volantis from Dead Space 3 where the previous civilization has dissapeared and all that remains are ruins of that civilization. Could make for a couple creepy/mysterious explorations as you attempt to navigate the ruins, discover who used to live here and what wiped them out.

The sun... I'm serious.
The sun... I'm serious.
The Sun is a star, not a planet.
The Sun is a star, not a planet.
I would like to see worlds with some unique and alien features that are memorable, something more than just a different colored Mars or your standard scifi ice world, lava world, etc.
- a low gravity world
- a underwater mission like in Leviathan DLC
- worlds with rain, fog, snow and other dynamic weather effects

The kind with green alien babes.
Nah, red alien babe is the way to go...or we could just have one of each type available.
Pathfinder chooses:
The red alien babe who manages to personally destroy their credit rating and all close relationships.
The blue alien babe who implements a strict regiment; controlling every aspect of their lives.
The green alien babe who offers to have a threesome with the friend of your choice. Now that's the kind of synthesis I can get behind.
- a underwater mission like in Leviathan DLC
This, but greatly expanded. .
The sense of scale and mystery in that underwater mission is exactly what I am looking for when it comes to exploration in the next ME.
A habitable colony world on a moon orbiting a gas giant in the goldilocks zone for their parent star. The main character should also visit there at night, when the view of that monster in the sky is at its most spectacular.
Also cool would be a colony that mimics some of the ideas for colonizing Venus. Basically it would be a cloud city that floats miles above the surface of a Venusian hothouse planet.
It might also be interesting to visit a habitable world orbiting a red dwarf. Red dwarfs are by far the most common stars in our galaxy, so they might also be the most common stars to host life on their orbiting planets, assuming life exists in the universe beyond Earth. That sort of planet could be interesting because life there would look very different from Earth...
Sunlight fuels life on Earth by powering photosynthesis, a process that converts solar radiation and carbon into sugars. Our sun's color, temperature, and distance from Earth have coaxed photosynthetic plants to absorb most wavelengths of light except for infrared and green, which these plants instead strongly reflect.
But most stars in the nearby universe aren't like the sun
About 80 percent of the Milky Way's stars are dim red dwarfs. As a result, astrobiologists have suggested that photosynthetic plants on worlds orbiting lone red dwarfs could take on hues of red, blue, yellow, purple, or even grayish-black to best absorb the starlight.
"Planets have to be about five times closer [than Earth is to the sun] to support photosynthesis," he said. "Red dwarf stars are more active, and their solar flares will hit the surface of the planet more often. That's a problem for life."
As a result, O'Malley-James thinks land-based alien plants may evolve natural sunscreens to protect themselves. If the plants are in water, they may temporarily sink when they sense bursts of radiation to protect their vulnerable photosynthetic molecules.
"That plants might move—to sink or shrink under a rock to evade a solar flare—is a really cool idea," said Jane Greaves of the University of St. Andrews, an astrobiologist who is O'Malley-James' doctoral supervisor.
