Wherein fandoms collide

I don't play computer games anymore, except the occasional round of Nethack when I'm terminally bored. And except Morrowind, which I would have to classify as the best single player role-playing game I've ever seen. (Want to be an alchemist, pick flowers by the road all day and make useful potions out of them? You can. Want to be an honorable assassin and kill people lawfully? You can. Want to be an elf and swan around all day charming people into making you evil overlord? You can. Want to turn into a vampire or a werewolf? You can.)

The sequel, Oblivion, is coming out somewhere in December, and I can't wait. And it occurred to me that more people than RPG fans might be interested in the following info from Gameindustry.com:

To create the perfect tone and timbre for its upcoming epic role playing game, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Bethesda Game Studios announced today an all-star voice cast of British stage and screen legends. (..)

Leading the lineup is Patrick Stewart, playing the role of the Emperor. (...)

Providing the voice for the Emperor’s lost son and heir to the throne is Sean Bean. (...)

“Oblivion is something unique, an epic entertainment experience unlike anything I had seen before,” said Bean. “I decided this was a project I really wanted to work on creatively and I hope fans of the game enjoy the results.”

Terence Stamp will lend his talents to the game’s heavy plot, a sinister force bent on the destruction of Tamriel, the game’s geographical setting. (...)

"Having never done voice work for a video game before, I really had no notion of what to expect," said Stamp. "Bethesda did a great job in providing the tone and theme for the character and it was fun to give life to the villain in the story, who is a very thoughtful man from a different line of kings who seeks to realize his own vision for the empire."

Bethesda had previously announced that Lynda Carter would also be lending her voice talents to the game. Best known for her starring role as the crime-fighting superhero, “Wonder Woman,” in the hit television series, Carter has appeared in more than 50 television shows and films, including this summer’s hits, Sky High and Dukes of Hazzard.

ETA: Oblivion is a sequel to Morrowind, which is a sequel to Daggerfall, but what that means is that they're set in the same universe, with a familiar mythology. The games themselves are standalone: you don't need to have played one to play the other.
