* PromotedFanboy: Brad Dourif, already an accomplished film actor, had long been an avid fan of Myst and Riven. When he heard that auditions were being held for actors to play a new character in Myst 3, [[JumpedAtTheCall well, you get the picture]].
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original outline for the game had Yeesha as a grown woman instead of a baby. That version of Yeesha would appear in future games.
** Myst III and IV underwent massive changes in development including a change in publishers from Mattel to Ubisoft and a number swap. The original developers for Myst III were [=DreamForge Intertainment=] while Presto Studios began work on a proposed Myst IV. Under [=DreamForge=], Myst III's story would feature the return of Sirrus and Achaenar. For unknown reasons, Presto's game ended up as Myst III while [=DreamForge=]'s project including the plot was shifted to Myst IV. And then Ubisoft purchased the entire Myst franchise. Ultimately, Ubisoft published Presto's Myst III but, again for unknown reasons, decided to restart Myst IV from scratch with an internal team.
