Bethesda, in collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity, has unveiled an exciting initiative that allows fans of The Elder Scrolls series to leave a lasting mark on the upcoming RPG. This unique opportunity has generated immense excitement among enthusiasts, leading to a record-breaking auction where one fortunate participant secured a spot within the world of TES VI.

The auction concluded with an impressive bid of $85,450 from an anonymous fan, who now has the chance to have a character in the game modeled after themselves or designed according to their vision. The auction saw participation from both individual gamers and large fan communities, including UESP and The Imperial Library. These groups aimed to honor the role-playing forum contributor Lorrane Pairrel but were outbid at around $60,000.
While Bethesda has not yet disclosed specific details about the winning character's role or significance, fans are actively discussing potential outcomes. Some express concerns that such initiatives might disrupt the game's lore, while others view it as a meaningful way to integrate the community into the project. In the meantime, insiders continue to leak details about TES VI, hinting at advanced shipbuilding mechanics, naval battles, and the return of dragons to the game world.
