I've decided to make a game how much do you think they'll charge for the Unreal engine licence?

 

As others have said, it's several hunred thousand to license the engine for a game and usually they try to force you to make more than one game with that engine.

Lucky for you, you don't have to license the engine to make a game. If you want to do something like a mod (which things like Bioshock and Mass Effect essentially are, just on a very large scale) you can do that completely for free as long as you don't try to make money off of it.

 

Hmm someone please tell me how to do this please!

 

 

You can do the same thing with other engines, such as the Sorce Engine (Half-Life 2) as well. You'd probably use their tools and such to build your game.
