Do you get to choose the path of the story in the novel as well 
I wouldn't think it'd be so difficult for people to appreciate that many people prefer their narative to be linear, focused and predetermined not unlike a novel.
@Soap opera and WB tv comment: I gotta say, many of the cliche JRPGs do give this impression and are, in fact, just terrible. They are also quite numerous. But that doesn't mean that we should generalise an entire genre.

Mass Effect 2 is going to have far more choices and consequences than the first game. Yes, the story was so good that they made a novel out of it. The difference between the game and the story is that it is your universe. This means anyone could be lost and anything can happen. I cannot wait to play that f'n game!

So, the novel is not linear then?
But I still dont understand why people are spouting linear storytelling as a bad thing. I cannot even think of a non-linear novel outside of old Goosebumps novels... and they were terrible.
