Finishing up Fallout New Vegas in my playthrough of all the Fallouts. I gotta say after Fallout 2, none of the other games can really stand up to the story writing that 2 provides.
I just was wondering who else here played Fallout. Hope everyone’s having a good day.
I haven’t really played Fallout, but I did get hours of enjoyment out of following the Fallout 76 disaster on Youtube when that was going down.
I do enjoy story-driven games so if I ever get enough downtime to start playing again I think I’d like Fallout.

Start with the old ones. Storytelling is off the charts good in those.
I’ve played all of them, except Fallout 76. I’ve spent the most time in Fallout 4. Played through with a couple different characters, then tried my hand at Survival mode and got burned out around lvl 30.
I need to go back to the old ones. I haven’t played them since I was younger and I don’t think I ever got through them.
Would you recommend I start at the very beginning, or should I skip some of them to hit the best stuff? Is there a strong storyline between games like the Mass Effect trilogy or can I jump in at say Fallout 2 without being lost?

It makes the most sense if you play it in the order of Fallout 1, 2, then New Vegas, and then 3 then 4. 1, 2, and NV focus on the same general storyline and have recurring characters and factions. 3 and 4 are linked to each other.
Got it, I’m going to add them to my Steam wish list and grab 'em when they go on a good sale, hopefully I’ll get time to play them at some point!
Thanks for the pointers!

Have fun! Be aware that Fallout 1 and 2 are VERY different from modern games in how they play. They’re a turn-based isometric RPG instead of an FPS. So expect more of almost like a Dungeons and Dragons experience, but like post-apocalyptic.
