1) It doesn't seem that way to me, it seems like it's generally going to make the game more immersive, which is something BioWare is aiming for in the first place.
2) No one has been complaining spotty voice recognition from the languages Microsoft support at the moment. We'll see if that changes when they launch the next batch of supported languages.
3) Less easy or effective? It looks way faster than going through a bunch of menus for giving your squad commands, not to mention hellishly more immersive. The storytelling aspect might not be easier or faster, but it has potential to be much more immersive I think. And it's not like you need good response time for that...
