I for one like that the Arisen is silent. While the story line isn't quite as enveloping as some other games I've played, the silence of my own player character fits in with the story very well. I mean, we're soaking up information as we go and requiring our character to make a response would slow the game down entirely too much for my tastes. Further, the Arisen has already conceded that they are a pawn to destiny, what point is there in evincing an actual personality when we know that the character will follow the plot of the choose your own adventure that is Dragon's Dogma?
