Bethesda Softworks is offering an extraordinary opportunity: a chance to become a permanent part of The Elder Scrolls universe. Through a Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, one lucky bidder will collaborate with Bethesda's developers to design a non-player character (NPC) for The Elder Scrolls VI.
This isn't just about choosing a name and appearance; the winner will work closely with the creative team to develop a character with real influence on the game's lore. Imagine a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or even a legendary warrior—the possibilities are vast. The winner could even integrate a digital representation of themselves into Tamriel's world.
The current highest bid is $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, that number is sure to rise. While Bethesda remains silent on The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, anticipation builds for the arrival of this unique character.

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves, they'll join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the beloved "Skyrim Grandma," whose appearance is already confirmed for the game.
With no official release date announced, The Elder Scrolls VI is unlikely to launch before 2026. However, when it does, one fortunate fan will leave an indelible mark on its world.
