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 remarkable fundraising event, giving Elder Scrolls fans a chance to directly influence the development of TES VI.

This initiative ignited a fervent bidding war, resulting in a record-breaking auction. An anonymous fan secured the top bid of $85,450, earning the right to have a character in TES VI modeled after themselves or based on their own design. The auction saw participation from individual players and large fan communities alike, including UESP and The Imperial Library, who attempted to honor community member Lorrane Pairrel but ultimately fell short.

The specifics of the winning character's role remain undisclosed by Bethesda, sparking lively discussions among fans. Concerns about potential lore inconsistencies are balanced by the excitement of community involvement. Meanwhile, ongoing leaks suggest TES VI will feature advanced shipbuilding, naval combat, and the return of dragons.
