I understand that the actual dialogue is not voiced, but I just don't see how you can have a main character who never says ANYTHING. So in cutscenes he or she just stands there awkwardly silent. Just listening intently. Even for dramatic cutscenes, no yelling, screaming, or anything? A silent character? How?
I guess you haven't played any other RPG before Mass Effect.

Fallout ?
Oblivion ?
Knights of the Old Republic?
Neverwinter Nights?
Baldur's Gate?
....

As for how, it's simple. The process involves not recording full voice over for the player, mainly because of diskspace concerns (no, we can't ship on 4 DVD-9's)
