What other games in the series are recommended

[bikes02]

New Vegas is the first game I have played in the franchise and was wondering what other Fallout game/s are worth buying

[Dadpool]

Fallout 3

[A Rock Seller]

1 and 2. 3 and 4 are just fanfiction by Bethesda.

It's basically a brother of Fallout: NV, they are similar, if you liked F:NV, you probably gonna like F3 as well, probably.

Like Elven_Trickmaster wrote.
Buy Fallout 3 with DLCs if you liked Fallout New Vegas.
You wont regret that buy.
Fallout New Vegas is Fallout 3.5 with less graphical atmosphere than 3.
I prefer Fallout 3 with all DLCs.

If you think a lightly Fallout-seasoned MMO with endless lore inconsistencies sounds good, then I'd recommend Fallout 76. People hate on it a lot(some of it is deserved), but I think it's an overall better game than 4, as it has objectively the best movement, gunplay, and graphics in the series(although this is a given since it's the newest entry), as well as being an overall pretty solid MMO... It's just not really fallout-y.

Besides that, there's FO3 which is basically NV, but gloomier and with a b-tier movie, extremely linear storyline(and 300% more crashing). Unlike 4/76, bethesda tried actually tried to go for the older games' feel with 3, and I don't think it's nearly as bad as people say it is. It's important to note that a lot of the aspects of NV that people love were pioneered by 3, and while NV does them better, 3 still deserves praise for successfully translating a 90s isometric game into a 3d FPS. And also it's lackluster story isn't fully bethesda's fault, since they got a lot of lore from Fallout Tactics. It's definitely worth playing if you've exhausted everything you can do in NV.

F1/F2 are good as well, but they can be a slog for people who don't like isometric games, and I think people are lying to themselves when they say they prefer them over F3/NV, as well as ignoring the glaring issues the classic games have simply to ♥♥♥♥ on bethesda. I mean, I've put more hours into F2 over the years than I ever have with F3, but I would say 3 is objectively the better game.

tldr; if you like the lore aspect of the games, play F1/F2. If you want a pretty good game that compromises by having a mid story and lore issues, but tries to be faithful, then play F3. If you don't care about lore and just like the fallout "world" and the way the game plays, then play F4/F76.

1 and 2. Ignore everything else.

Many thanks for all the replies guys, much appreciated

F3, F1,2 - story

F4 for the gameplay

Fallout new Vegas is a direct sequel to 2, which is a direct sequel to 1. 2 was also made by many of the same devs as new Vegas.

I recommend 1 and 2. After that you can maybe dabble in 3, but it's pretty weak and 4 is just atrocious and an insult to the franchise.

I would say 1 and 2 are the ones that are more similar to each other, and they still feel different, the rest are just each of its own imo...
So I think it depends entirely on your mood and taste which are worth or not. Me personally the one that I cannot enjoy today is Fo3.

[DUKE NUKEM]

1 2 and nv is all that's out

[Graceful Jabberwocky]

all of the main ones (1, 2, 3, new vegas, 4)

[NightmareGats]

1 and 2, maybe tactics too. The others are trash.

[jomigaru]

If you like tactical rpgs go for fallout tactics. Most people hate it but I find it awesome.

If you want something similar to New Vegas...well there is nothing in terms of plot or factions. Falloit 3, 4 and 76 are your options.
