Bethesda is letting players pay to become an NPC in The Elder Scrolls VI

Authore: CamilaUpdate:Mar 03,2025

Bethesda Softworks is offering a unique opportunity: a chance to become immortalized in The Elder Scrolls VI. A wealthy bidder will collaborate with Bethesda's development team to design a non-player character (NPC) for the highly anticipated game. This isn't just about aesthetics; the winner will work closely with the creative team to shape the character's backstory, influence, and role within the game's lore. The possibilities are vast, ranging from a humble scholar to a powerful warrior, and even the chance to digitally represent themselves within Tamriel.

The current highest bid sits at $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, this figure is expected to increase significantly. Bethesda remains secretive about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, adding to the anticipation surrounding this exclusive collaboration.

The lucky winner will join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the celebrated "Skyrim Grandma," whose appearance in the game has been confirmed. While an official release date is still pending, a 2026 launch or later is anticipated, ensuring the winner's contribution will leave a lasting mark on the Elder Scrolls universe.
