Bethesda Softworks is offering a unique opportunity: a chance to become immortalized in The Elder Scrolls VI. One lucky bidder, through a Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, will collaborate with Bethesda's development team to design a non-player character (NPC) for the highly anticipated game.

This isn't just about superficial details; the winner will work closely with Bethesda's creative team to develop a character with significant impact on the game's lore. Imagine a pivotal scholar, a mysterious trader, or even a legendary hero – the possibilities are vast. The winner might even see a digital representation of themselves integrated into Tamriel.

The current highest bid sits at $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, this figure is expected to rise. Bethesda remains discreet about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, adding to the anticipation surrounding this exclusive character's debut.

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves, they'll join Shirley Curry, the celebrated "Skyrim Grandma," whose inclusion in the game has been confirmed.

While an official launch date is absent, a 2026 release for The Elder Scrolls VI seems plausible. When it does launch, one fortunate fan will leave an enduring mark on its world.
