Fallout Turns 10, Creates Perk Contest To Celebrate
It's the Fallout series' tenth birthday and Bethesda wants to celebrate. How? by letting you design a Perk, from its attributes to the lovely (and often hilarious) picture that has traditionally accompanied each one since the series was born. Here are the details:
10 years ago the original Fallout was released and forever changed role-playing games. Now is your chance to be a part of Fallout history. We're giving you, the fans, a chance to design one of the perks for Fallout 3!No, we aren’t going to tell you about any of the perks that are already in Fallout 3. First, that would spoil it, and second, we don’t want to color your ideas with anything we are, or aren’t doing. It’s a clean slate for you. Be creative.
Think of something in the spirit of Fallout. What would you really want your character to be able to do in the game? Don’t worry about any stat requirements or the level you would get it at. Just design a cool perk and we'll fit it in where it could go.
Part of what make Perks great are the Vault Boy images that goes with them. You can choose to use one of the generic icons we’ve provided to go along with your Perk if you’re not artistically inclined (that won’t hurt your chances of winning, in case you’re wondering) or you can choose to upload a drawing, sketch, photo, or creation of your own design. Send in a photo of yourself in the appropriate pose, sketch it on a napkin and scan it in...whatever you want.
We certainly know you GayGamers out there are super artsy and creative, so I challenge you to enter this contest! There are many prizes to be had from you're choice of any NVIDIA or ATI video card, Xbox 360 Pro or just a Fallout-themed t-shirt depending on if you win the grand prize for the Console or PC version of the game. There will be prizes for runners-up and honorable mentions as well. As for rules, you can enter as much as you like, but you can only submit the same Perk once.
Have it guys and gals, if you have any initial ideas, feel free to share them in the comments...unless you want to keep it a secret so you can win. So, Happy Birthday, Fallout! You changed my life as a gamer and I dutifully await your third incarnation.
