Today, October 28th, is the 18th anniversary of Fallout 3. The game came out in 2008.
At the very beginning of the game, when the main character is one year old, he pronounces his first Pa-pa. And the voice belongs to Jake Howard, the real son of Todd Howard, who was also exactly one year old at the time of recording.
And this isn't the only case, as the developers have engaged their own children and other small residents of Shelter 101 to voice their voices. For example, the son of lead designer Emile Pallarello can be heard playing Timmy Newsbaum in the virtual Transquilitude Line.
