It's been awhile since Fallout 3 was released, but people still play it even to this day. However, it wouldn't be much fun if you played the whole thing all over again without mixing a few things up.
One gamer, Bryan Pierre, decided to challenge themselves by playing the game in its entirety as a baby. Yes, that's right—a baby! This was made possible due to a glitch discovered by Fallout 3 players, who found that it was possible to complete the tutorial as a baby without transitioning into adulthood.
Pierre's playthrough of the game as an infant took many hours to complete, as there are many hurdles along the way. For starters, the baby never recieves the Pip-Boy, so it made it necessary for the player to use a mod to enable the use of the Pip-Boy device.
As you'll recall if you ever played Fallout 3, playing as an infant meant you moved at crawling speed. This doesn't change with the glitched playthrough, so much of the playthrough feels like a slog compared to moving around as an adult character.
Additionally, the fact that the baby happens to be, well, baby-sized, made it difficult to pick up objects placed high up on shelves. Pierre figured out that he had to stack objects up on each other for the baby to climb and get these hard-to-reach items. Just like real life.
One benefit to being small is that most enemies have difficulty hitting the player due to the tiny, baby-sized hitbox. However, hits that do manage to land hurt a lot.
Anyway, this is all pretty crazy and if you've nothing else to do with your time, I'd recommend watching the playthrough to see just how absurd and challenging it is to traverse the post-apocalyptic wasteland as a highly intelligent baby.
