Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the enchanting world of Tamriel, offering a unique opportunity for one affluent bidder to leave a lasting mark on The Elder Scrolls universe. Through the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, a fortunate fan will have the chance to work alongside Bethesda's developers to craft an NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI.
This isn't merely about selecting a name or an appearance. The winner will collaborate closely with Bethesda's creative team to develop a character that could significantly impact the game’s narrative. From a wandering scholar to a mysterious merchant or a legendary warrior, the creative possibilities are boundless. The winner might even opt to integrate a digital representation of themselves into the rich tapestry of Tamriel.
Currently, the highest bid has reached $11,050, and with the auction still active, this figure is expected to rise. Notably, Bethesda has kept details about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date under wraps, leaving fans eagerly anticipating when they'll encounter this unique new character.

Should the auction winner choose to immortalize 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 lack of an official release date, it's speculated that The Elder Scrolls VI might not launch until 2026 or later. However, when it does arrive, one lucky fan’s legacy will be indelibly woven into its fabric.
