Gamer Spends $100,000 for Elder Scrolls VI Inclusion

Bethesda, in partnership with the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity, has launched an exciting initiative that allows fans of The Elder Scrolls series to directly influence the development of its much-anticipated upcoming RPG. This unique opportunity has ignited a wave of enthusiasm among the game's community, leading to a record-breaking auction where one fortunate fan secured a coveted spot within the world of TES VI. The auction concluded with a remarkable bid of $85,450 from an anonymous enthusiast, who will now have the chance to have a character in the game modeled after themselves or designed to their specifications. Both individual gamers and prominent fan communities, such as UESP and The Imperial Library, joined the bidding fray, with the latter group aiming to honor the late role-playing forum contributor Lorrane Pairrel. Despite their efforts, they were outbid at around the $60,000 mark.

While Bethesda has kept the specifics of the winning character's role and significance under wraps, the fanbase is abuzz with speculation and debate. Some express concerns that such fan-driven initiatives might disrupt the established lore of the game, while others view it as a powerful way to weave the community into the fabric of the project. In the meantime, insiders continue to leak tantalizing details about TES VI, including advanced shipbuilding mechanics, epic naval battles, and the thrilling return of dragons to the game world.
