Bethesda Softworks is offering an extraordinary opportunity: a chance to become immortalized in The Elder Scrolls VI. Through a Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, one lucky bidder will collaborate with Bethesda’s developers to design a unique NPC (Non-Player Character) for the highly anticipated game.
This isn't just about picking a name and appearance. The winner will work closely with Bethesda's creative team, shaping the character's backstory, personality, and even their role within the game's rich lore. Imagine: a wandering scholar, a shrewd merchant, a legendary warrior—the possibilities are vast. The winner might even see a digital representation of themselves integrated into Tamriel!
Currently, the top bid sits at $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, that number is sure to rise. While Bethesda remains tight-lipped about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, the mystery only adds to the excitement surrounding this unique opportunity.

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves in The Elder Scrolls VI, they'll join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the beloved "Skyrim Grandma," whose in-game appearance has already been confirmed.
With no official release date announced, a 2026 launch seems likely. But when The Elder Scrolls VI finally arrives, one lucky fan will have their legacy permanently woven into its expansive world.
