So, 300 million dollar to set up the company and build this game. That's about 100 mil more than BioWare's SW:TOR, and large amounts of that money went to voice-actors. And since there was such a big fuss about that game's budget I can only imagine the [censored]storm that'll rage around this game...
I've read that this game will be fully voice acted as well, but I doubt it'll come close to the scope of TOR. And as far as I know there is only a hand-full of voice-actors working for Bethesda.
So where do you think this money is going to? Been looking into it a bit more but information is rather scarce. Maybe the cost of building their own engine?
