The time has come for you to be a part of Fallout history. Bethesda Softworks is giving you, the fans, a chance to design one of the perks for Fallout 3!

Bethesda is not giving any information on any other perks that are already in Fallout 3.

"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."

Fans can also give sketches of Vault Boy to go along with the perk or send a photo of them in an appropriate pose.

"If you win, you'll get your Perk in the game, your name in the game's credits, AND your choice of the grand prize from the Prize Vault: either the PC or the Console flavor."

All entries must be in by 11:59 pm (Eastern time) on October 31, 2007. We'll announce the winner of the contest, and all the other awardees, in November.
