Gamer Pays Nearly $100,000 to Be Part of The Elder Scrolls VI

Bethesda and Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic recently teamed up for a fantastic initiative: giving The Elder Scrolls fans a chance to directly influence the creation of TES VI. This exciting opportunity ignited a frenzy of bidding, resulting in a record-breaking auction.

An anonymous fan ultimately won the auction with a winning bid of $85,450, securing the right to have a character in TES VI either modeled after themselves or designed to their specifications. The auction saw participation from both individual players and large fan communities, including UESP and The Imperial Library, who attempted to honor forum contributor Lorrane Pairrel with a bid of approximately $60,000.

While Bethesda remains tight-lipped about the winning character's role, speculation is running wild among fans. Concerns about potential lore disruptions are being weighed against the excitement of community integration. Meanwhile, whispers from within continue to fuel anticipation, hinting at exciting new features for TES VI, including advanced shipbuilding, naval combat, and the legendary return of dragons.
