February 5, 2002
(Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks announced today
that actress Lynda Carter, best known for her starring role
as television’s “Wonder Woman”, has agreed
to do voice-overs for the critically acclaimed role-playing
game, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind™. Slated to hit
stores this Spring for the PC and the Xbox™ video game
system from Microsoft, Morrowind offers players a rich fantasy
world to explore and a fully customizable interactive adventure.
Carter has signed on to provide the voices
for the female Nords, one of the races that populate this
expansive game.
"We are thrilled to have Lynda Carter
join the project," says Todd Howard, Morrowind's Project
Leader who has won numerous awards for his previous work.
"Adding her talent and personality to some of our characters
is a huge addition for Morrowind. And of course, I've been
a fan since childhood."
“After working for so many years in the
entertainment industry, I was delighted to do something new
and become involved creatively with the development of this
game,” said Carter. “I really enjoyed the experience
and believe Morrowind is something that the gaming public
is going to be excited about.”
Morrowind also features the creative talent
of award-winning musician Jeremy Soule, who will be responsible
for composing and producing the music for the third chapter
in the award-winning Elder Scrolls series. Soule, who has
been called Gaming’s Greatest Musician, recently completed
the score for the blockbuster videogame Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone.
The design for Morrowind is being led
by Ken Rolston, who won the coveted H.G. Wells Award for Best
Role-Playing Game in 1985 and has created numerous award-winning
games throughout his career. He is generally considered to
be one of the godfathers of role-playing games (RPGs).
