No need to revisit earlier titles to grasp Fallout 3 or New Vegas; the connections are more about gameplay style than direct references. As for the order, starting with Fallout 3 makes sense since it lays the foundation, followed by New Vegas for a smoother progression.

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are essentially two distinct narratives featuring separate main characters. I suggest tackling Fallout 3 first, then moving on to Fallout: New Vegas. They offer significantly more depth in gameplay mechanics at New Vegas.

I wouldn't think so. I've played Fallout 3 and New Vegas and I feel like you could play New Vegas and not Fallout 3 and understand what's going on, or vice versa (if that even works). EDIT: I don't think there's enough information out yet about what Fallout 4 is going to be directed around exactly. Plus it's going to be in an entirely different area.

Fallout 3 comes first, then New Vegas. The two games felt very different. The story doesn’t flow together—each character is unique, so you can switch around anytime.

None of the Fallout titles are strictly sequential; the exception is the initial two, yet you can easily progress to the second without revisiting the first. There are still nods and hidden references linking back to earlier entries. I suggest starting with Fallout 3, as it offers the most intense gameplay. Both are excellent, though.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas came from Bethesda Softworks, while earlier titles were made by another studio (can't recall the name). Fallout 4 won't carry over much beyond small nods, characters, or hidden surprises. You should enjoy Fallout 3—it's widely regarded as one of the greatest games out there.

They don't really have anything that connects the games in that way. The world is obviously the same so they share the same lore but I think the references to previous games are pretty minimal. And ingame years wise New Vegas is a prequel I think. I haven't personally used it but there is a mod to play 3 in New Vegas' engine.

No, it doesn't imply playing 1 is better. The suggestion is about timing, not the number itself.

Nope. Fallout 1 and 2 are quite distinct from Fallout 3. You can grasp the story and details easily if you skip the earlier titles! Occasionally you won't catch a reference or joke from previous games, but those moments are extremely rare.

He suggested following that sequence since 3 is easier to handle mechanically. Going to 1 would change the overall feel of the gameplay completely.
