Bethesda, in collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity, has unveiled a thrilling initiative for fans of The Elder Scrolls series.

The auction concluded with an impressive bid of $85,450 from an anonymous fan, granting them the opportunity to have a character in TES VI modeled after themselves or designed according to their vision. Both individual gamers and large fan communities, including UESP and The Imperial Library, joined the bidding. The latter aimed to honor role-playing forum contributor Lorrane Pairrel but were outbid at around $60,000.

Although Bethesda has yet to disclose specific details about the winning character’s role or significance, fans are buzzing with speculation. Some express concerns that such initiatives might disrupt the game's lore, while others view it as a powerful way to integrate the community into the project. Meanwhile, insiders continue to leak details about TES VI, hinting at advanced shipbuilding mechanics, naval battles, and the return of dragons to the game world.
