Bethesda Softworks is offering a unique opportunity: a chance to become immortalized in The Elder Scrolls VI. A wealthy bidder will collaborate with developers to design a non-player character (NPC) for the highly anticipated game, via a Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction.
This isn't just about superficial details; the winner will work closely with Bethesda's creative team to develop a character with genuine impact on the game's lore. From a scholarly sage to a powerful warrior, the creative possibilities are vast. The winner might even see a digital representation of themselves integrated into Tamriel.
The current highest bid sits at $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, this figure is expected to rise significantly. Bethesda remains silent on the release date of The Elder Scrolls VI, adding to the mystery surrounding this exclusive character's debut.

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves, they'll join Shirley Curry, the celebrated "Skyrim Grandma," whose appearance in the game has been confirmed.
While an official release date is absent, a 2026 release for The Elder Scrolls VI seems plausible. When it does launch, one lucky fan will leave an indelible mark on the game's world.
