Bethesda Offers Players NPC Role in Elder Scrolls VI

Bethesda Softworks is offering a unique opportunity: a chance to become a permanent fixture in the world of The Elder Scrolls. A wealthy bidder will collaborate with developers to design a non-player character (NPC) for The Elder Scrolls VI, all through a Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction.

This isn't just about superficial details; the winner will work directly with Bethesda's creative team to develop a character with lasting impact on the game's lore. From a humble scholar to a powerful warrior, the possibilities are vast. The winner might even see a digital representation of themselves integrated into Tamriel.

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

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves, they'll join Shirley Curry ("Skyrim Grandma") whose inclusion in the game has already been announced.

While an official release date is unconfirmed, a 2026 release for The Elder Scrolls VI is anticipated. When it launches, one fortunate fan will leave an indelible mark on Tamriel.
