Fallout 4 will soon be receiving an update. Fallout 76 and Fallout 4 are both good games that can be soloed. Fallout 76 can be enjoyed alongside a friend or two if they also have the game. Both are fun games to own.

Both of these are top down 2d games that may not run on some current machines.

He means a different distributor, like GOG.

Not having much interest to play Fallout 1 and 2 makes sense, and I can't blame for anyone not wanting to go that far back, but it is definitely worth giving them a try as they truly are among the greatest RPG's ever made, especially Fallout 2.

Tactics is a lot more focused on combat, less so story beats, but it's held up extremely well, and a fun playthrough. New Vegas is considered the true Fallout 3 and possibly the 2nd best of the franchise. Obsidian had 18 months with a garbage Engine and broken tools, set up to fail, and they managed to whip up something far superior to Bethesda's Fallout 3.

Honestly, though? If you simply want gameplay with little thought towards writing, story, narrative, dialogue, choice and consequence? Mod a game with upwards of around 200+ mods for the game to be fun? Turn off your brain and just play a video game? Fallout 4 is your ticket.

If you desire something more? None of the Bethesda entries will set you right.

DRM free, and usually given additional work for modern operating systems, hardware, greater chance of the games running well, as oppose to older games through Steam. This is why GOG exists, Good Old Games, it's in the title.

so in my opinion and i think most others fallout 3 was like the mf ♥♥♥♥ so bro i would do what u want but how id do it is, fallout 3 if you like it the order gets less important i think but i would do fallout 4 and then new vegas and the original games maybe? i really think you should just choose which one looks most appealing but go check out 3, and dont forget all the games have mod support so theirs tons of mod content to be played as well. have fun man!

New Vegas, if you want a shooter
