I know a lot of people have talked about feeling that the structure of ME2 is more linear than ME1. I see the argument, but for me that really added to the immersion.
Sure, the opportunity to get all the dossiers after Freedom's Progress would have been good. Taking Tali to Korlus etc. But I have no problem with 'enforced' missions at certain times. Horizon and the Collector Ship are time sensitive, it would have been ridiculous to have those events sitting in your journal to address at your convenience. Really, I'm going to be taking out Blue Sun groups and checking out the Normandy crash site while Horizon is being invaded by Collectors?
It was one of my problems with ME1 that you were in a race against time to save galactic civilization and you were spending all that time deactivating rouge AIs on the moon and tracking down 20 year old nuke sites for the Alliance.
I much preferred the N7 mission structure in ME2, because it made sense to be doing those missions as a way to prep your team before the all-important and less time sensitive Suicide Mission.
It annoyed me in ME1 that Virmire could be sitting in your journal for so long. I would have much preferred that mission (which seemed to me like the perfect penultimate act) to only activate when everything else (virtually) had been done.
I loved how, when Horizon was done, the galaxy opened up and you could explore and really get a sense for all the cultures you will be saving (I assume) in ME3. The final dossiers, the N7 missions and the loyalty missions were so diverse... I really felt I was living in the ME galaxy, not just trying to save it. That worked for me and totally upped the ante for the final chapter.
As for ME1's constant shopping, crate searching and armour swapping (in mid battle) - totally immersion breaking IMO.
I hope Bioware find a way to have an 'ultimate stakes' ME3 final chapter without jarring side missions (help the Consort make friends with the spurned General? Come on!!)
Much greater immersion in ME2 IMO
