Bethesda and Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic recently teamed up for a fantastic initiative: giving Elder Scrolls fans a chance to directly influence the development of TES VI.

This exciting opportunity led to a record-breaking auction. An anonymous fan won the bid, securing a spot in TES VI with a character either modeled after themselves or based on their own design. The winning bid reached a staggering $85,450. The auction saw participation from both individual players and large fan communities, including UESP and The Imperial Library, who attempted to honor community member Lorrane Pairrel but were outbid at approximately $60,000.
Bethesda remains tight-lipped about the winning character's role, fueling much fan speculation. Some worry about potential lore inconsistencies, while others celebrate this unique community engagement. Meanwhile, leaks continue to surface, suggesting TES VI will feature advanced shipbuilding, naval combat, and the legendary return of dragons.
