I can't really justify it, but I get bored in linear rpgs unless they are otherwise incredible. This goes for character development as well. If, by the end of the game, I will have taken the same path as every other player and my characters will be identical, then I don't see the point.
But then again I played pen and paper rpgs like dungeons and dragons for years before I ever touched computer rpgs.
If you enjoy linear games then good for you, more games for you to play
