Gamer Spends $100K for Elder Scrolls VI Inclusion

Author:Kristen Update:Mar 29,2025

Bethesda, in partnership with the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity, has launched an exciting new initiative for fans of The Elder Scrolls series. This special program allows fans to directly influence the creation of the upcoming RPG, The Elder Scrolls VI. The announcement has generated a wave of enthusiasm within the community, leading to a record-breaking auction where one fortunate participant won the chance to have a character in the game, either modeled after themselves or designed according to their vision. The auction concluded with a staggering bid of $85,450 from an anonymous fan.

The auction attracted a diverse range of participants, from individual gamers to large fan communities such as UESP and The Imperial Library. These groups aimed to honor the contributions of role-playing forum contributor Lorrane Pairrel but were ultimately outbid at around $60,000.

While Bethesda has kept the details about the winning character's role and significance under wraps, the fanbase is buzzing with speculation. Some express concerns that such initiatives might affect the game's lore, while others view it as a unique opportunity to deepen the community's connection to the project. Amidst these discussions, insiders have been leaking information about The Elder Scrolls VI, suggesting the inclusion of advanced shipbuilding mechanics, naval battles, and the return of dragons to the game world.
