Bethesda Offering Paid NPC Feature in Elder Scrolls VI

Author: Hunter Feb 23,2025

Bethesda Softworks is offering a unique opportunity: a chance to become immortalized in The Elder Scrolls VI. One lucky bidder, through a Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, will collaborate with Bethesda's developers to design a non-player character (NPC) for the highly anticipated game.

This isn't just about superficial details; the winner will work closely with the creative team to develop a character with significant impact on the game's lore. The possibilities are vast, from a learned scholar to a powerful warrior, or even a digital representation of the winner themselves.

The current highest bid is a substantial $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 auction winner choose to create a digital version of themselves, they'll join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the renowned "Skyrim Grandma," whose in-game appearance has been confirmed.

While an official release date is absent, a 2026 launch for The Elder Scrolls VI is anticipated. When the game finally arrives, one fortunate fan's contribution will be permanently woven into its rich tapestry.
