NPCs for Hire: Bethesda Offers Immersive Character Customization in Elder Scrolls VI

by Dylan Feb 23,2025

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 development team to design a non-player character (NPC) for the highly anticipated game. This isn't just about aesthetics; the winner will help shape the character's backstory and influence within the game's lore. The possibilities are vast, ranging from a humble scholar to a powerful warrior, even potentially a digital representation of the winner themselves.

The current highest bid is $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, this number is expected to increase significantly. While Bethesda remains tight-lipped about the game's release date, the winning NPC's debut is eagerly awaited by fans.

Should the winner choose to create a self-representation, they'll join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the celebrated "Skyrim Grandma," whose in-game appearance has already been confirmed.

With a 2026 release date widely speculated, The Elder Scrolls VI's launch will mark the beginning of a lasting legacy for one fortunate fan.
