Bethesda is letting players pay to become an NPC in The Elder Scrolls VI

Bethesda Softworks is once again opening the gates of Tamriel, offering a unique opportunity for one wealthy bidder to become a permanent part of The Elder Scrolls universe. Through the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, a lucky 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, making their mark on the game's rich narrative.

Currently, the leading bid stands at $11,050, but with the auction still in progress, that figure is expected to rise. Bethesda has remained notably silent about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, keeping fans eagerly awaiting the debut of this exclusive new character.

A similar auction was previously held for Starfield, yet the identity of the custom-designed NPC has remained undisclosed to the public.

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

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