This is partly just personal preference as to how I like an RPG to be laid out. I'd rather have the side quests interspersed throughout the first half of the game for character development before getting to the real thrust of the main plot. Often that requires a more linear game, though.
And however they choose to make it, I'll play it. Only game I've been actually looking forward to buying since... a long time.

Exactly, if you ever plated KOTOR you will know that that game had some excellent pacing, the story was always going forward (main plot line) while you did side quests here and there.
ME2 seems like, INTRO levels, Do all the side quests, Do final levels. It just wasn't that fun IMO.
ME1 was much much better than ME2 IMO.
