Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the enchanting world of Tamriel, and this time, one fortunate bidder will have the unique opportunity to leave an indelible mark on The Elder Scrolls universe. Through the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, a single fan will collaborate with Bethesda's developers to create a non-player character (NPC) for The Elder Scrolls VI.
This isn't just a chance to name a character or pick out their outfit. The winner will delve deep into the creative process with Bethesda's team, crafting a character that could shape the game's lore. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or a legendary warrior, the winner's creativity will be the limit. They might even choose to immortalize a digital version of themselves within Tamriel's vast and evolving world.
Currently, the top bid is at $11,050, and with the auction still in progress, that figure is expected to rise. While Bethesda remains silent on The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, fans eagerly await the moment they can encounter this unique new character in the game.

Should the auction winner decide to feature themselves in The Elder Scrolls VI, they'll join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the adored "Skyrim Grandma," whose likeness is already set to appear in the game.
Given the absence of an official release date, it's speculated that The Elder Scrolls VI might not launch until 2026 or later. However, when it does, one lucky fan's legacy will be forever woven into its fabric.
