Bethesda, in partnership with the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity, has unveiled an exciting initiative that empowers fans of The Elder Scrolls series to leave their mark on the eagerly awaited RPG. This groundbreaking opportunity has ignited a fervor among the community, resulting in a record-setting auction where a fortunate participant clinched a spot in the world of TES VI. The auction reached a staggering high bid of $85,450, placed by an anonymous enthusiast. This winner will now have the unique privilege of having a character in the game either modeled after themselves or designed to their exact specifications. The auction saw participation from both individual players and prominent fan communities, including UESP and The Imperial Library, who made a valiant effort to honor the role-playing forum contributor Lorrane Pairrel but were ultimately outbid at approximately $60,000.

Amidst this excitement, insiders have been leaking tantalizing details about TES VI, suggesting the inclusion of advanced shipbuilding mechanics, epic naval battles, and the much-anticipated return of dragons to the expansive game world.
