The winners of Fallout 3's Create-A-Perk contest have been announced today. One grand prize winner, 11 runners up, and five entries randomly selected to win a prize just for entering.
"It was not an easy decision. Almost every entry was worthy and it took a lot of work to read them all, and yes, someone did. One thing we've learned through this contest is that the spirit of Fallout is alive and well. Congrats to everyone who entered, we hope it was as much fun for you as it was for us", the official announcement stated.
"So how did we pick? About half the perks we've already created for the game were submitted, so if we already thought of it, it was cut. About a thousand entries were called "Berserk", so those didn't win. Any perk that referenced something outside of the Fallout world, like the one hundred "McGyver" entries didn't make it. So what do the winners all have in common? They have great names and great ideas. Some are just hilarious (Crazy Eye); some use the game systems in new ways. But most of all, they are perks we'd want to play."
"Every time you kill an opponent, all your action points are automatically restored", said the description for the winning perk "Grim Reaper's Sprint".The designer, Marc-Andre Deslongchamps of Montreal, will see his perk included in the final game as well as receive a package of PC-related prizes.
