Hello. Fallout 4 is coming to shelves soon, and its open-world style and post-apocalyptic world caught my attention. But I know it's part of a big series. Should I begin with Fallout 4 or revisit earlier games like Fallout 1, 2, 3, and New Vegas first?
Best regards, Aereldor.
i was thinking the same as you and i heard from people they have no connection with each other if you play 1&2 you are crazy, check gameplays i just played 3 two days ago, and it's very old/boring so i'll just play 4
You may bypass the games before Fallout 3. Suggesting Fallout 3 and New Vegas works well, though you can begin with Fallout 4 even if you haven’t played anything else.
these games stand alone and don’t require the others to function properly. You can enjoy four without them, though they’re great on their own. Before version three, 3 and NV were top-down titles with a unique style—still solid but not as widely popular as later entries. If you’re starting out, try 4 first; once you like it, revisit 3 and NV for a different experience.
They exchange no tales, just a single cosmos—so you probably don’t have to revisit earlier ones unless you’re okay ignoring a few hidden allusions.
Technically they have a lot in common, especially in story elements. Based on trailers, leaks, chats, and other sources we’ve seen, it seems some NPCs from Fallout 3 might appear again in Fallout 4. I don’t recall the exact reference, but it could just be a guess. Regardless, the background of the game stretches back a long time, though you don’t need to memorize every detail (unless you’re super into the series).
You might think of it like playing those games but with fewer dragons and more firearms.
I really enjoy the look and feel of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas since they share a similar vibe to Morrowind, which is one of my top picks. But I’m planning to try 4 next, as I haven’t had much of a next-gen gaming experience lately after setting up this PC—most of it’s been The Witcher 3.
I would receive a score of 4, a score of 3, and a 'no' if you've finished or lost interest in 4.
Fallout 3 might not capture your interest, while Fallout 4 could feel outdated. Worth it depends on what you're looking for.
