Bethesda Softworks is offering a unique opportunity: a chance to become immortalized in The Elder Scrolls VI. A Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction allows a high bidder to collaborate with Bethesda's developers to design a non-player character (NPC) for the highly anticipated game.
This isn't a simple name and appearance selection. The winner will actively participate in the creative process, working alongside Bethesda's team to develop a character with significant potential impact on the game's lore. From a learned 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 increase significantly. Bethesda remains secretive about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, adding to the anticipation surrounding the unveiling of this custom-designed character.

Should the winner choose to create a digital version of themselves, they'll join Shirley Curry, the celebrated "Skyrim Grandma," whose inclusion in the game has been confirmed.
While an official release date is still unannounced, The Elder Scrolls VI is unlikely to launch before 2026. However, when it does, one fortunate fan will leave an enduring mark on its world.
