Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the enchanting world of Tamriel, this time offering a unique opportunity for one affluent bidder to leave a lasting mark on The Elder Scrolls universe. Through a special charity auction organized by Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic, a fortunate fan will have the chance to work directly with Bethesda's developers to create an NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI.
This isn't merely about selecting a name or designing an appearance. The auction winner will collaborate closely with Bethesda's creative team to develop a character that could play a significant role in the game's lore. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or a legendary warrior, the possibilities are vast. The winner even has the option to integrate a digital version of themselves into the expansive world of Tamriel.
Currently, the top bid for this extraordinary opportunity stands at $11,050, with the auction still open and the final amount expected to rise. Meanwhile, Bethesda has kept details about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date under wraps, leaving fans eagerly anticipating when they'll encounter this exclusive new character.

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves in The Elder Scrolls VI, they would join the ranks of Shirley Curry, affectionately known as the "Skyrim Grandma," whose likeness is already set to appear in the game.
With no official release date announced, 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 indelibly woven into its fabric.
