Bethesda Unveils Paid NPC Option in Elder Scrolls VI

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 development team 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 Bethesda's creative team to develop a fully realized character with potential influence on the game's lore. From a humble scholar to a powerful warrior, the possibilities are vast. The winner might even have a digital representation of themselves integrated into Tamriel.

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

Should the auction winner choose to create a digital likeness of themselves, they'll join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the celebrated "Skyrim Grandma," whose inclusion in the game has been confirmed.

While an official release date is yet to be announced, a 2026 launch for The Elder Scrolls VI seems plausible. When the game finally arrives, one fortunate fan will have their mark indelibly imprinted on its world.
