Bethesda Softworks is offering a truly unique 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 picking a name and appearance. The winner will work closely with Bethesda's creative team, shaping a character with potential 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 see a digital version of themselves integrated into Tamriel's world.
The current highest bid is $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, that number is sure to rise. Bethesda remains tight-lipped about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, adding to the excitement surrounding this exclusive 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 appearance is already confirmed for the game.
With no official release date announced, The Elder Scrolls VI is unlikely to launch before 2026. But when it does, one fortunate fan will have their legacy forever woven into its rich tapestry.
