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

Author : Zachary Mar 01,2025

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 developers 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 develop a character with lasting impact on the game's lore. The possibilities are vast, ranging from a learned scholar to a powerful warrior, or even a digital representation of the winner themselves.

The current highest bid sits at $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, this figure is expected to rise. Bethesda remains discreet about the game's release date, keeping the unveiling of this exclusive character shrouded in mystery.

Should the winner choose to digitally immortalize themselves, they'll join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the celebrated "Skyrim Grandma," whose appearance in the game has been confirmed.

While an official release date is absent, a 2026 launch seems plausible. When The Elder Scrolls VI finally arrives, one fortunate fan will have left an indelible mark on its world.
