Bethesda breaks down Brink by crazy numbers

Bethesda has been ramping up the Brink promotion ahead of next week’s release, helped along with some insane statistics that the publisher has yanked out of its arse. The numbers are being used to show off how much variety is found in the game. 

Did you know that there are 4963 weapon attachment variations? Or 26,000 lines of dialog? Or how about 47,325,358,080,000,000 costume combinations for one of the game’s two factions? Yeah, these numbers are just silly.
