That's the problem, it took me hours just to get this far.

The problem with the first one was that those sidequests were incredibly repetitive, and the "collect all the flags" or whatever had absolutely no point.
I think that was the great thing about it, because I never collected the flags at all, and if you're confident in your ability to assassinate the targets, you don't even need to do the investigations either. No gameplay elements are restricted by those sidequests, you literally only have to do them if you feel they're worth it. And some of them are - completing the investigations on that scribe in Damascus really facilitate the assassination, for example.
Here, if you want to collect those things, you can (and be rewarded), and if you don't want to, you can ignore them. I never tried getting all the feathers, for instance.
I think you'll find that AC2 fixes a lot of the problems of the first game. I can see how you'd find it slow to start off, but it sounds like you're going to be hitting the meat soon enough.
Good to read. I'll return when I've progressed further then.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

I lose interest about an hour into the first game. Loving Deus Ex: Human Revolution, tho. *NM*

I feel like AC2 fixed a lot of AC's problems, and Brotherhood refined it

If you just got to the mansion, you have a lot farther to go

You can ignore most of the sidequests, except when they are explicitly part of the main story path. *NM*

And I think AC2 is worth it, even if you're finding the beginning slow.
