Bethesda Softworks is offering a unique opportunity: a chance to become a permanent fixture in the world of The Elder Scrolls VI. Through a Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, a lucky bidder will collaborate with Bethesda's developers to design a non-player character (NPC).
This isn't just about superficial details. The winner will work hand-in-hand with Bethesda's creative team to develop a fully realized character with potential impact on the game's lore. From a humble scholar to a powerful warrior, the possibilities are vast. The winner might even see a digital representation of themselves integrated into Tamriel.
The current highest bid is $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, this figure is expected to rise. Bethesda remains silent on The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, adding to the anticipation surrounding this unique character's debut.

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves, they'll join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the celebrated "Skyrim Grandma," whose inclusion in the game has been confirmed.
While an official release date is absent, a 2026 launch for The Elder Scrolls VI is anticipated. When the game finally arrives, one fortunate fan will have left an indelible mark on its world.
