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

Authore: LucasUpdate:Mar 31,2025

Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the rich world of Tamriel, offering a unique opportunity through the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction. One fortunate bidder will have the chance to collaborate directly with Bethesda's developers to design a custom NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI. This isn't just about selecting a name or appearance; the winner will engage deeply with the creative team to craft a character that could significantly impact the game's lore. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or a legendary warrior, the winner has the potential to integrate a digital version of themselves into the ever-expanding universe of Tamriel.

Currently, the leading bid for this exclusive opportunity stands at $11,050, and with the auction still active, this amount is expected to increase. Bethesda has kept details about The Elder Scrolls VI under wraps, including its release date, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the debut of this unique new character.

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves in The Elder Scrolls VI, they will join the ranks of Shirley Curry, known affectionately as the "Skyrim Grandma," whose likeness is already confirmed for the game.

Given the absence of an official launch date, it's speculated that The Elder Scrolls VI may not see the light of day until 2026 or later. However, when it does, one lucky fan's legacy will be indelibly woven into its tapestry.
