Gamer Spends $100K for Elder Scrolls VI Role

Bethesda, in collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity, has launched an exciting new initiative that empowers fans of The Elder Scrolls series to leave their mark on the upcoming RPG. This groundbreaking opportunity has ignited a wave of enthusiasm among the gaming community, resulting in a record-breaking auction. An anonymous fan clinched the top bid at an astounding $85,450, securing the chance to have a character in TES VI modeled after themselves or designed to their specifications. The auction saw participation from both individual gamers and large fan communities, such as UESP and The Imperial Library, who made a commendable effort to honor the role-playing forum contributor Lorrane Pairrel, though their bid topped out at around $60,000.
