Billy "Biwwy" is a nine-year-old child in Little Lamplight in Fallout 3.
Background[]
Biwwy is a nine-year-old inhabitant of Little Lamplight, recently kicked off the scavenging team due to his speech impediment annoying the other children to a point where they no longer wished to listen to him.[1][Non-game 1] He struggles with pronouncing the "L" and "R" sounds, and seems oblivious to his own speech impediment, as the Lone Wanderer may ask him to stop talking the way he does and is met by confusion on Biwwy's end.[2] Similarly, if asked about "Biwwy" being his nickname, he is unaware that he possesses one at all.[3] He is generally ostracized and avoided by the other children, and has subsequently resigned himself to solitude in the Great Chamber.[Non-game 1] In what little conversation he engages in, he can be heard apologizing to Princess for annoying her by attempting to talk to her.[4]
Relationships[]
Biwwy doesn't seem to have any friends, as everyone finds him annoying, possibly because of his speech impediment and apparent hyperactive nature.[Non-game 1]

Notes[]
- Biwwy seems to be unaware of his speech impediment, as he thinks that the Lone Wanderer "talks funny."
- If the player chooses to use Child at Heart to obtain the Wazer Wifle, Biwwy does not appear to realize the Lone Wanderer is not a "fewwow kid" like him.
- If the Lone Wanderer asks about the way to Vault 87, Biwwy will speak without the impediment.
Notable quotes[]
- "Nickname? What awe you tawking about?" – Himself, regarding his nickname
- "Whoops, didn't mean to bug you, Miss Pwincess. Sowwy."
- "I suwe did! Five hundwed caps, and this Wazer Wifle's aww youws!"
Appearances[]
Biwwy appears only in Fallout 3.
Bugs[]
There is a glitch in which Biwwy (or Billy) is found in the nearby pool of water, unable to be engaged in conversation. A possible workaround is to shoot at him and cause him to become hostile and flee. Return later and the bug will be fixed. [verified] This can be fixed by opening the console (~), and typing prid 61799 followed by moveto player. The character should be teleported out of the water onto dry land right next to you, and the Wazer Wifle can then be obtained. Console gamers can leave the Great Chamber and return later, Biwwy or Billy may have spawned somewhere reachable.- On PC, a second Biwwy may spawn trailing behind the first. He will speak to the Lone Wanderer as if meeting them for the first time and his Wazer Wifle will be obtainable infinitely.

"Biwwy:
A nine-year-old boy with a slight speech impediment, Biwwy was recently kicked off the scavenging team because no one could stand being around him. He's still generally avoided by most and leads a slightly sad, lonely existence, lurking in the alcoves of the Great Chamber and playing with his Wazer Wafle, although he's got no cause to use it anymore."
