The Elder Scrolls VI First NPC
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was a groundbreaking RPG that left a lasting impact on the gaming world. Bethesda’s masterpiece captivated millions of players for years, and expectations for its sequel are sky-high. The Elder Scrolls VI was first announced seven years ago, and while updates have been scarce, development is still progressing.
During the Make-A-Wish Foundation event, which grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions, participants had the chance to bid on the creation of the first NPC in The Elder Scrolls VI. While many took part—including a YouTuber and the fan organization Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages, which has provided Bethesda game information since 1995—the final bid of $85,450 secured the prize.
