"Pay to Play: Become an NPC in Elder Scrolls VI"

Bethesda Softworks is once again opening the gates of Tamriel, offering not just adventurers but one wealthy bidder the unique opportunity to become a permanent part of The Elder Scrolls universe. Through the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, a fan will have the chance to collaborate with Bethesda's developers to design an NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI.

This isn't just about selecting a name or appearance. The winner will work closely with Bethesda's creative team to craft a character that could wield significant influence within the game's lore. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or even a legendary warrior, the possibilities are vast. The winner could even integrate a digital version of themselves into Tamriel's ever-expanding world.

Currently, the leading bid stands at $11,050, but with the auction still active, this figure is expected to rise. Bethesda has remained notably silent on The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, keeping fans eagerly awaiting the moment they'll encounter this exclusive new character.

A similar auction was held for Starfield, yet the identity of the custom-designed NPC has never been widely disclosed.

If the auction's winner chooses to immortalize themselves in The Elder Scrolls VI, they will join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the beloved "Skyrim Grandma," whose likeness has already been confirmed for inclusion in the game.

With no official launch date announced, it's speculated that The Elder Scrolls VI may not be released before 2026. However, when it does arrive, one fortunate fan's legacy will be forever etched into its world.
