"Bethesda Introduces Pay-to-Play NPC Role in The Elder Scrolls VI"

Author : Christian May 05,2025

Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the enchanting world of Tamriel, but this time, with a unique twist. Through the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, one fortunate bidder will have the extraordinary opportunity to collaborate with Bethesda's developers to design an NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI.

This isn't merely about selecting a name or customizing an appearance. The winner will work hand-in-hand with Bethesda's creative team to develop a character that could play a significant role in the game's rich lore. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or a legendary warrior, the winner's imagination is the only limit. They could even immortalize themselves within Tamriel's expansive universe by incorporating a digital version of their likeness into the game.

Currently, the highest bid stands at $11,050, with the auction still open and the final amount expected to rise. Despite this exciting development, Bethesda has kept details about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date under wraps, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the moment they can encounter this special new character.

This auction follows a similar event held for Starfield, though the identity of the custom-designed NPC remains undisclosed to the public.

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

With no official release date announced, The Elder Scrolls VI is not expected to launch before 2026. However, when it does, one lucky fan's legacy will be indelibly woven into the fabric of its world.
