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 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 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. While Bethesda remains tight-lipped about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, the anticipation for this unique character is palpable.

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, The Elder Scrolls VI likely won't arrive before 2026. However, when it does, one lucky fan will have their legacy forever etched into its world.
