Bethesda and Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic recently teamed up for a groundbreaking initiative: giving Elder Scrolls fans a direct hand in shaping the upcoming TES VI RPG.

An anonymous fan won the chance to have a character in TES VI – either a self-model or a custom design – with a winning bid of $85,450. The auction saw participation from individual players and large fan communities like UESP and The Imperial Library, who attempted to honor community member Lorrane Pairrel but were outbid at approximately $60,000.

Bethesda remains tight-lipped about the winning character's specifics, sparking much fan speculation. Some express concerns about potential lore inconsistencies, while others celebrate this unique community integration. Meanwhile, whispers from inside sources continue to circulate, hinting at intriguing new features in TES VI, including sophisticated shipbuilding, naval combat, and the legendary return of dragons.
