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

By FinnMay 23,2025

Bethesda, in collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity, recently unveiled an exciting initiative that allows fans of The Elder Scrolls series to directly influence the creation of its highly anticipated RPG. This unique opportunity has ignited a wave of enthusiasm among the game's community, leading to a record-breaking auction where one fortunate participant secured a spot in the world of TES VI. The auction concluded with a staggering bid of $85,450 from an anonymous fan, who now has the privilege of having a character in the game modeled after themselves or designed according to their vision. Both individual gamers and prominent fan communities, such as UESP and The Imperial Library, took part in the bidding. The latter aimed to honor the contributions of role-playing forum member Lorrane Pairrel but were outbid at around $60,000.

While Bethesda has kept the details of the winning character's role and significance under wraps, fans are buzzing with speculation and debate. Some express concerns that such initiatives might compromise the game's lore, whereas others view it as a heartfelt way to involve the community in the project. Amidst these discussions, insiders have been leaking tantalizing details about TES VI, including advanced shipbuilding mechanics, naval battles, and the much-anticipated return of dragons to the game world. These leaks have only fueled the excitement and anticipation for what Bethesda has in store for fans of The Elder Scrolls series.
