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

Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the enchanting world of Tamriel, offering a unique opportunity for one fortunate bidder to leave a lasting mark on The Elder Scrolls universe. Through a special auction hosted by Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic, a fan will have the chance to collaborate directly with Bethesda's creative team to design an NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI.

This isn't just about picking a name or tweaking an appearance; the winner will dive deep into the game's lore to craft a character that could play a significant role. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or a legendary warrior, the creative possibilities are boundless. The winner might even choose to integrate a digital version of themselves into the rich tapestry of Tamriel.

Currently, the auction has reached a leading bid of $11,050, and with the event still in progress, that figure is expected to rise. Meanwhile, Bethesda continues to keep details about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date under wraps, keeping fans eagerly anticipating the debut of this unique new character.

Should the auction winner decide to immortalize themselves within The Elder Scrolls VI, they will join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the beloved "Skyrim Grandma," whose likeness has already been secured for the game.

While The Elder Scrolls VI is not expected to launch before 2026, when it does, one lucky fan's legacy will be indelibly woven into its world.
