So how much $ (in general) does it cost to produce a fully animated/rigged, fully voiced 1-3 minute cutscene in a game that’s in ongoing development (something like SWTOR, where they have a lot of prebuilt assets)? Like just a general low range and high range? I’m seeing a lot of people complaining about prioritizing content they want, and don’t know enough about the behind the scenes costs to properly communicate they’re being unrealistic with their complaints.

The bulk discounts only really work if the things we're paying for can be reused multiple times though - the more specific an asset is (e.g. a kissing animation), the harder it is to reuse and the more expensive it tends to be relative to other assets. that might need to be created for certain specific cutscenes.

It all exist at the same time everywhere… Even when the player lives the game. I know it sounds silly. But I really wanted to ask is it impossible because we don’t know how OR we luck the power of graphical hardware?

It’s possible, but if you had a full world’s worth of assets loaded and running, the game would either run at an unplayable frame rate or would be significantly reduced in visual fidelity.
