Chasing a buncha blinking lights in zero-G was enjoyable once. Once.

Seriously fuck those temples. It already takes two minutes to walk from the ship, and now I gotta spend two minutes floating around in zero G?
TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY TIMES?
Two hundred and forty times?
Two hundred and forty times?
Without spoilers, there are 24 temples, and to max out what you get from them you need to complete each one ten times

omg. I'm just 15 hours in, haven't discovered temples yet, but that seems unconscionable. Like, MMO levels of grind. I mean, I've happily put hundreds of hours into each TES-offline, FO-offline, Deus Ex, CP2077, BG3. I don't mind repetitive if the mechanic is fun.
MMO grind is for when you expect your customers to spend hundreds of hours just hanging out with their friends and you need to find something for them to do. It doesn't have to be fun or rewarding, just distracting. Maybe TESO and FO76 have distorted their priorities.
The “puzzle” is that when you enter the temple, it goes zero-g and a spinny thing in the middle pops up. You have to float to a thing that looks like a spinning top, and once you float through it, another one appears. You float through a dozen of them or so and then you get a space power. Such a colossal failure of game design that this was acceptable to have as any puzzle, but the audacity to make it literally the same puzzle at every other temple completely boggles my mind.
240 times. Sometimes a dude appears when you leave the temple, and he’ll shoot at you. There are better puzzles on the kids menu at Denny’s.
The number isn't really the issue. The issue is that every single one is exactly the same. Skyrim had like 80? words of power but they were fun because you had to beat a boss or clear a dungeon or do a quest. In Skyrim you got at least some personal touch to getting those words.
In Starfield it's always the same 1-2 minute walk from ship to temple and then float around in a small room until the central thing opens and then you get teleported outside the temple where you kill 1 guy that 90% of the time spawns directly in front of you. If it was as many times as in Skyrim it would still be mind numbingly boring, because there's nothing interesting about them.
Nine times.

Grace!
To 100% it, yes. It has to be done ever several new game cycles so you'll also have to go through the other shit multiple times too. I don't think anyone is expected to do that though. The new game plus stuff undermines the outpost system though. It'll be gone your next cycle, so just don't bother I guess? The ideal meta progression would be to rush through the main story and complete all the temples on your cycle then move on.
