Bethesda has partnered with Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic to offer Elder Scrolls fans an unprecedented opportunity to influence the development of their next RPG title.

Historic Auction for TES VI Inclusion

This exclusive initiative created massive excitement, leading to a record-breaking charity auction. One anonymous bidder won the right to appear in TES VI with a staggering $85,450 offer. The winner can choose to have an in-game character modeled either after themselves or based on their creative design.

Notable participants included major fan communities like UESP and The Imperial Library, who collectively bid approximately $60,000 to memorialize forum contributor Lorrane Pairrel before being outbid.

Community Reactions and Speculation

While Bethesda hasn't disclosed details about the winning character's implementation, discussions among fans continue to grow. Some express concerns about potential lore inconsistencies, while others celebrate this innovative approach to community engagement.

Meanwhile, leaked information suggests TES VI may feature:

  • Enhanced shipbuilding systems
  • Expanded naval combat
  • The return of dragons

The Elder Scrolls community remains divided but excited about these developments as they await further official announcements.
