They went to the trouble and presumably significant expense to hire Patrick Stewart to play a character who doesn't live past the tutorial?

Yup. But by the gods, does it set the tone.

Let me see your face... You are the one from my dreams... Then the stars were right, and this is the day. Gods give me strength!

Makes sense to spend most money on the tutorial. All players see the tutorial. Fewer players see the side quest characters or final boss.

The cost to have him work longer than the tutorial would probably have been even more significant :)

Exactly - the guy who played Crewman #3 would have done the whole thing for a fraction, and would have made coffee runs.

I doubt he cost that much. He’s just a Mirfield lad.
