Bethesda and Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic recently teamed up for a fantastic initiative: giving Elder Scrolls fans a chance to directly influence the creation of TES VI. This exciting opportunity led to a record-breaking auction, where an anonymous fan secured a spot in the game's world with an impressive bid of $85,450. The winner will have a character in TES VI either modeled after themselves or designed to their specifications. The auction saw participation from individual players and large fan communities like UESP and The Imperial Library, who attempted to honor forum contributor Lorrane Pairrel with a bid of around $60,000.

Meanwhile, whispers from insiders continue to surface, hinting at exciting new features for TES VI, including advanced shipbuilding mechanics, epic naval battles, and the thrilling return of dragons.
