I wish there was Quality of Life features for locating Data Shards in this game. It's too hard to find them.

I find it difficult to locate Data Shards.

I wish there were some quality of life features like a pillar of light in which you can enable in the settings menu to locate them more easily without having to enter scan mode.

Having to Press LB to Quick Scan isn't a solution and can be really annoying.

I find data shards and reading them essential for lore and wanting to piece together context-sensitive moments in the game.

It's even worse when they are locked behind point of no return sections, locking them forever. I want to understand the lore and context of the situation the NPC got in or something about where it's found, but the game fights against me and prevents me from actually trying to understand it.

CD Projekt Red. Some quality of life features for detecting Data Shards would be really great for Accessibility in this game, often they are too well hidden or stuck in the ground inaccessible to read or collect.

The scanner use to give you a ton of information about what was around you at a certain distance. The very first out of site dead body I found in the game back a few years ago was by scanning my area from the high balcony of johnny safe house apartment. I was like WTF!!??? there is a body on a roof top on the next building over. I could see him line of sight once I knew he was there, NO WAY I would have spotted him otherwise. This introduced me to all the hidden shards and Easter egg like environmental stories that was in the game. So unless it is tied to one of the cybernetic that I have not gotten in my recent run thrus they removed a lot of that kind of feedback from scanning in their "updates".
