Bethesda and Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic recently teamed up for a fantastic initiative: giving Elder Scrolls fans a chance to directly influence the creation of TES VI. This exciting opportunity led to a record-breaking auction, where a generous anonymous fan secured a spot in the game with an impressive $85,450 bid. The winner will have a character in TES VI either modeled after themselves or based on their own design. The auction saw participation from both individual players and large fan communities like UESP and The Imperial Library, who attempted to honor community member Lorrane Pairrel, ultimately bidding around $60,000.

While Bethesda remains tight-lipped about the winning character's specifics, the gaming community is buzzing with speculation. Some express concerns about potential lore disruptions, while others celebrate this unique way to involve fans in the game's development. Meanwhile, whispers from insiders continue to fuel excitement, hinting at advanced shipbuilding mechanics, epic naval battles, and the majestic return of dragons to the TES VI world.
