Kate Mulgrew, aka Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Starship Voyager, has spoken about her role in Bioware's RPG which hits shelves today.

Speaking about what drew her to the project, in which she voices the mysterious witch Flemeth, Mulgrew told SciFiNow magazine: "I  love using my voice in this way, and these people – BioWare people – are a very professional, very organised, very generous group of people. I think it’s very well written, that there’s an intelligence and a depth to this videogame that I don’t see very often, and I think that this company is well known for that."

Despite featuring such a tightly-scripted multi-threaded narrative, Mulgrew also claims she was given a certain amount of freedom in the role. "I loved that range that they allowed me to have with Flemeth, from her very darkest tones to moments of almost girlishness," the actress continued.

"That was not only suggested, but I was allowed to play that. And you know, going from fury to confidence, and confidence to reflection, she’s got a lot going on, Flemeth, and I think these producers, as well as the engineer who I worked with, mimed that and wanted that, and gave me the freedom to do it."
