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

Authore: PeytonUpdate:Feb 27,2025

Bethesda and Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic recently teamed up for a special fan initiative impacting the development of the upcoming Elder Scrolls VI RPG.

An anonymous fan won the chance to have a character in TES VI modeled after themselves or based on their own design, with a winning bid of $85,450. The auction saw participation from individual players and large fan communities like UESP and The Imperial Library, who attempted to honor community member Lorrane Pairrel but were outbid (approximately $60,000).

Bethesda remains tight-lipped about the winning character's role, sparking much fan speculation. Some express concerns about potential lore inconsistencies, while others celebrate the community's involvement. Meanwhile, rumors and leaks persist regarding TES VI's features, including advanced shipbuilding, naval combat, and the return of dragons.
