As for VA, I just cannot see how they could provide all these things, without voice acting from both the companions and external sources (=other NPC's). In a way, they chose to walk that path in terms of immersion and "feeling" that any other approach (datapads & emails) just seems subpar.
I'm assuming it's because they planned it to be free. Perhaps they couldn't pay the voice actors without losing too much money? I'm assuming that the Kasumi DLC has voices, but then, we're paying extra for it.
Then again, Zaeed's DLC had voices too, and that was free. But then, it was also ready for launch, so presumably all of that dialogue was recorded alongside the main game.
But then, perhaps they could have recorded dialogue for this alongside the Kasumi dialogue?
Oh well, who knows? But clearly, the lack of voicing and the need to rely on telling the story through text is the main problem people are having with this DLC. The other is the level design (too short, too linear, etc) but that is down to personal taste. Some like it, some don't. I doubt anybody wouldn't prefer to have voices and conversations rather than datapads and emails though.
