Bethesda Softworks is offering a unique opportunity: a chance to become immortalized in The Elder Scrolls VI. One lucky bidder, through a Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, will collaborate with Bethesda's developers to design a non-player character (NPC) for the highly anticipated game.

This isn't just about superficial details; the winner will work closely with the creative team to develop a character with a significant role in the game's lore. Imagine: a wise scholar, a cunning merchant, or a powerful warrior—the possibilities are vast. The winner might even see a digital representation of themselves integrated into Tamriel.

The current highest bid is $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, that figure is expected to rise. Bethesda remains secretive about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, adding to the anticipation surrounding this exclusive character's debut.

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves, they'll join Shirley Curry, the celebrated "Skyrim Grandma," whose appearance in the game has been confirmed.

While an official release date is absent, a 2026 release for The Elder Scrolls VI seems plausible. When it arrives, one fortunate fan will leave an enduring mark on the game's world.
