Bethesda and Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic recently teamed up for a groundbreaking initiative, giving Elder Scrolls fans a chance to directly influence the development of TES VI.

An anonymous fan won the chance to have a character in TES VI, either based on their likeness or a custom design, with a winning bid of $85,450. The auction saw participation from individual players and large fan communities like UESP and The Imperial Library, who attempted to honor community member Lorrane Pairrel, but were outbid at approximately $60,000.

While Bethesda remains tight-lipped about the winning character's role, speculation runs rampant among fans. Concerns about potential lore disruptions are balanced by the excitement of community involvement. Meanwhile, leaks continue to surface, suggesting advanced shipbuilding, naval combat, and the return of dragons in TES VI.
