Fallout 3 Create a Perk contest winner selected, 'Grim Reaper's Sprint'

by Ross Miller { Nov 20th 2007 at 4:55PM }

"Every time you kill an opponent, all your action points are automatically restored." So goes the description for the perk "Grim Reaper's Sprint," winner of Bethesda's Fallout 3 Create a Perk contest. The designer, Marc-André Deslongchamps of Montreal, will see his perk included in the final game as well as receive a package of PC-related prizes.

The contest, announced in early October, was in honor of Fallout's 10th anniversary. Eleven runner-ups and five random entries were chosen to also receive gifts; be sure to check out their submitted perks at the contest page. We're hoping to see some of these other perks, especially Kleptomaniac, find their way into Fallout 3 in some facet.

Now that we know one of the perks, anyone want to place bets on what the others will be?

Concept stolen from Jeanne D'Arc. Thats what all the power up forms do in that game.

How is this stolen from Jeanne D'arc? Fallout came out 10 years ago and Jeanne D'arc came out last year. Please explain.

The 'Grim Reaper Sprint' perk was thought up by a fan for entry into the competition. The winner gets included in Fallout 3.

Do keep up dear chap...

Here's a new perk. The Fanboy. If playing this game on an xbox 360: If your weapons overheat you get a new one in 3 weeks. If playing on a PC: You've made the right choice in everything you do, consequences don't matter. If playing on a PS3 (we know it will happen): Nobody likes you.
