The best part of the whole run may be the ending: in Fallout 3, players must sacrifice themselves to complete the final mission before moving on to the game's expansions. This is mostly relegated to melee-only enemies - either way, it's hilarious to watch a group of fully-armored Super Mutants try to take down what appears to be a toy soldier. Then again, it's not as if Bryan is at a complete disadvantage: with a small stature comes a small hitbox, meaning that some enemies have trouble even landing a hit. It also makes running from a fight nearly impossible, as everything in the world can easily outrun Bryan's miniaturized character.
The game still thinks he's "crawling," and as a result, it takes forever just to get around. Obviously, this changes the way the game plays: not only is Bryan super-tiny, but he's ridiculously slow. However, by tricking the game into skipping the intro, Bryan manages to make his way into the open world while he's still shrunk.
Normally, this "baby mode" only lasts a few minutes after that, it's on to the next sequence. Granted, it's not quite that simple: Bethesda didn't really program the game to allow for playable babies, so it's more that Bryan is stuck in a something like "baby mode." If that sounds bizarre in writing, just wait until you see it in action:īasically, instead of creating an entirely new baby model for something that was only supposed to appear in a single scripted segment, Bethesda merely shrunk the player's character down to scale.
This changes two things: one, Bryan makes it to the game's open world in a faction of the time, and two, he's a baby. However, by messing with the opening scene's scripting, Bryan is able to circumvent most of the opening. Usually, Fallout 3 begins with the player's birth, then jumps forward through time - the true game begins when the player is 19 years old.
