You haven't tried Fallout 3 yet, but you enjoyed the first two games' stories. It might be worth playing it now before the new game releases.
Yes, it can still be fun even if you like games like Skyrim and The Witcher.
It's not essential, especially since FO4 is near. You won't have time to finish 3 or NV before 4 arrives. They're separate; just play 4 when it's time, and maybe save 3 for later. They're still solid games, I've played both extensively (around 100 hours each).
You might finish the primary storyline in just a few hours, yet most players would likely overlook the rest of the game. The main campaigns are solid by themselves, but it’s unclear how simple it would be for someone new to jump right past everything.
