Pay to be an NPC in The Elder Scrolls VI: Bethesda's New Feature

Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the immersive world of Tamriel, this time offering a unique opportunity through the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction. One fortunate bidder will not only explore the game but also leave a lasting mark on The Elder Scrolls universe by designing an NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI.

This experience goes beyond mere customization. The auction winner will collaborate closely with Bethesda’s creative team to develop a character that could significantly impact the game's lore. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or a legendary warrior, the winner has the chance to bring their vision to life. They can even choose to integrate a digital version of themselves into the ever-expanding world of Tamriel.

Currently, the highest bid is at $11,050, and with the auction still open, this figure is expected to rise. Meanwhile, Bethesda has kept details about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date under wraps, heightening anticipation for when fans will encounter this unique new character.

Should the winner decide to immortalize themselves in The Elder Scrolls VI, they will join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the cherished "Skyrim Grandma," whose likeness is already set to appear in the game.

Given the lack of an official release date, it's speculated that The Elder Scrolls VI may not launch until 2026 or later. However, when it does, one lucky fan's legacy will be indelibly woven into its fabric.
