Actress To Do Voice Work in New PC and Xbox Videogame

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 XboxTM 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).

Morrowind is an epic, open-ended single-player RPG where you create and play any kind of character imaginable. It offers a simple interface and focused gameplay for beginners, and staggering depth and inexhaustible gameplay for the gaming veteran. Featuring stunning 3D graphics, open-ended gameplay, and an incredible level of detail and interactivity, Morrowind promises to be an experience like no other.
