Agreed. Taking breaks during a playthrough, I'd always listen to the codex.

Honestly, the narrated codex entries bothered me. I can read faster than a person can talk so I always muted my TV when flipping through the codex. I have nothing against bringing them back, the mute button exists for a reason.

Oh yes, definitely.
There should be a mute button for those who are worried.

I have no opposition to such but I would like to see more of those things incorporated into the game world. It's far more satisfying to learn about the universe through in-game conversations with companions and NPC's as well as action sequences. As pretty much every writing teacher I ever had told me: Show, don't tell.

I did but I still prefer reading them to the slower narration of the guy. Then again I've always preferred the encyclopedia books to the CDs.
But I'm fine with it being in game though, it does give some life to the codex rather than just being a mountain of text.

Agreed. I'd take breaks and make a cuppa while listening to his narration.

It was the first thing I thought of the first time I heard that voice, the first time I played Mass Effect 1.

Y'see, the issue here is that now I just want that dude's brother narrating the codex. And literally everything else.

He has a voice like most other VO people from the eighties-nineties do though. You could hear them doing ads on commercials all the time. It's not that I didn't like listening to him, I did. But he's a dime a dozen.
