Bethesda, teaming up with the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity, has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative that lets fans of The Elder Scrolls series directly influence the development of its upcoming RPG. This exciting opportunity has generated a buzz among the gaming community, leading to a record-breaking auction where one fortunate fan clinched the chance to be part of TES VI with a staggering bid of $85,450. The winner now has the unique privilege to have a character in the game either modeled after themselves or crafted to their specifications. The auction saw participation from both individual enthusiasts and prominent fan communities, such as UESP and The Imperial Library, who were outbid at approximately $60,000 in their attempt to honor the role-playing forum contributor Lorrane Pairrel.

Amidst these discussions, leaks from insiders continue to surface, teasing features like advanced shipbuilding mechanics, naval battles, and the much-anticipated return of dragons in TES VI.
