Watching that, I think the major problem with the plot is that the side missions have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the main plot, and there's very little indication that they're even "side" missions when they first appear. Or at least, I didn't get that until I was playing through with my second character.

Perhaps I will help to illustrate your point, but... I'm not exactly clear on what the side missions are vs the story missions. Patrols & Strikes?

Honestly, I think the game's plot would be getting better reviews if the side missions didn't unlock until after the main story was complete, and then unlocked all at once.

Irregardless, I wholeheartedly agree, but the leveling would have been off for me. At one point I needed to run some patrol/strikes to level up before I was ready to continue with the campaign.
