Like, we're talking a few HUNDRED dollars to VA a protagonist for an entire game (Not hundreds of thousands or hundreds of millions. But hundreds. Less than $1000). Due to terrible rates (Normally fixed price per session and then only needing a handful of sessions for a reasonable VA that doesn't require lots of retakes)

It only becomes expensive when hiring high profile actors who charge obnoxiously high rates (Where you're simply paying for the prestige of their name rather than necessarily any quality as less prolific VA's can still do stellar jobs).

The main factor to consider is time. Finding VA's and scheduling them to go to the studio to record their lines. With it being made more awkward due to the timing, as it will have to happen after all the writing is done (Then any rewrites needs you to get the VA's back in to record the new lines and changes).
