An anonymous fan won the chance to have a character in TES VI, either modeled after themselves or based on their own design, with a winning bid of $85,450. The auction saw participation from individual players and large fan communities, including UESP and The Imperial Library, who attempted to honor community member Lorrane Pairrel but were outbid at approximately $60,000.

Details about the winning character's role remain undisclosed by Bethesda, fueling fan speculation and debate. Some express concerns about potential lore inconsistencies, while others view it as a valuable community engagement strategy. Meanwhile, ongoing leaks suggest TES VI will feature advanced shipbuilding, naval combat, and the return of dragons.
