Best entry point into the series?

3 years ago by Sami to c/fallout

Hey, so I've been meaning to get into the Fallout series for some time but haven't been sure where to start. I'm a big fan of games like the Borderlands series and am wondering if there is some overlap in appeal between the 2 franchises if anyone's a fan of both. I know that Fallout is definitely more RPG-y.

I have Fallout 1, 2, 3 and New Vegas from Epic and sales. I've heard a lot about New Vegas and I've heard that the first 2 are very dated but I'm not opposed to dated visuals if the game itself is still relatively playable. Chronological or is there a recommended game? Thanks.

This is a tough one. My first game in the franchise was Fallout 4. I loved it when it came out. I then moved on to Fallout New Vegas and the other games in the franchise.

Since you are into Borderlands, Fallout 4 would be the most like it gunplay-wise. The story is "fine" but it is not a true RPG in my eyes. Don't let that push you away from it, though. It is still very enjoyable!
