It shouldn't take them anywhere near as long to make as the base game because they wouldn't need to create any new systems, though they would have to create new models for creatures/monsters they haven't built yet, the whole world for the mod, voice acting, so it still wouldn't be 'quick' but shouldn't take as long as the base game took.

Nothing I disagree with, though I think it would be a shame if the cost of creating official modules ended up being too much because of voice acting and Cinematics. Nice features, but completely expendable (user made content won’t have them, of course).

Sure. I could see a separate official mod have no, or reduced, voice acting to save on resources (money + time). The same for cinematics, though I think the system they built for cinematics, automating them, would be a boon in that situation. We just wouldn't get things like the intro video that wasn't made in the game engine.
