I Hope this guide will set you on the right bath to find the right Fallout game for you. I when I say a lot of people have asked me, I mean like five people have. I have gotten more questions about what mods to install to their games. Which I have no clue about since I ever so rarely play with mods.

I kinda like that Robobrain btw. I think I'll keep him.

Also sorry he title got so short.

Do any of the games mention what happened to the rest of the world?

I'd like a fallout game set in post-apocalyptic Russia. The thick Russian accents always make the post-apocalypse feel so much more authentic to me for some reason.

Should there be a Fallout Europe spin-off I think London or Paris would be the best choices.

A Fallout game set in any other country but the U.S wouldn't be a Fallout game. Pre-war American culture makes up a huge part of the Fallout Universe.

Nothing specific except that China got ****** up the same. There's also a few instances, where people in Fallout 2 says that the whole world got ****** , but you can't really be sure if they are just speaking generally.

Tenpenny from Fallout 3 is from England, and he went to America to try his luck, so it seems like it's the whole world that got rekt

As something of a backstory/lore know it all for Fallout:

Mentions of the rest of the world are pretty scarce, but the general consensus is that the whole world was ****** over. Russia is barely mentioned, since the antagonist of Pre-war USA was simply 'Communism', which was mainly from the Chinese. There's barely any mention of Russia as far as I'm aware (the only thing I can remember off the top of my head right now is some mentions of them to do with the space race in the Fallout universe 1960s and 70s)

It couldn't be a Fallout game though. Part of Fallout's world is that it's a future 1950s America envisioned. To have Fallout in another country would take away from the 50s America future nuked the hell out atmosphere.

It would be an interesting spin-off though. Imagine, instead of being based on the hyper detailed, artistic 1950s America, you'll play in an environment based on the grimy, rough post WWII Soviet Union.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if there were still vehicles you could use, I mean, if the Highwayman could still be used after replacing the missing fuel controller imagine what you could find in a place like Russia.

Let's just hope it isn't a nuclear powered Yugo.

Which was your favorite New Vegas DLC and why is it Old World Blues?

But seriously, unlike the ones from the Fallout 3, all the DLCs connect to eachother and are related to the Mojave, whereas in Fallout 3 it was "MATRIX, MIRELURKS UP YOUR ASS, ALIENS ***** " and " ***** YOU HAVE A ******* ELECTRIC CANNON NOW"

As much as i love all those things, you gotta love "50s SCI-FI MOVIE, ***** WITH DEEP VOICE" and "YAO GUAIS HOLY **** ".

i feel you man.
New Vegas absolutely blows FO3 out of the water with its DLCs. I played dead money and lonesome road before i bought FO3 GOTY and those two DLCs had three times the story and took twice as long as all four FO3 DLCs put together. 'I expected more from the outcasts DLC, I did not read up on it before I played but I really wanted there to be something after the simulation ended.

in my opinion fallout 3 is a bad introduction to the series, because
1-the whole story was written with the player already knowing who the brotherhood of steel/enclave are and what they stand for in mind, which results in many aspects of either faction either going completely un-explained or barely mentioned because they assumed you already knew
2-it gives you the wrong idea of what the other games in the series are like
3-it is so disconnected from the other 3 games both narratively and asthetically that it doesnt tell you anything about the other 3 games at all
4-the ending is so bad it makes you not want to play another fallout game ever again

I could say Fallout 3 is a reboot and New Vegas is a sequel.

Personally i have played F1/2 when they were released. Not exactly liked 1, it was too complicated for me at that time, but really liked 2. Fallout 3 was a massive disappointment for me, there were massive disconnection between F1/2 and F3 plot (there were 0 story writers from previous games and the ones where working on F3 didn't exactly know what's cannon or what makes Fallout a Fallout, but due to Bethesda owning rights got green light anyway ) It didn't felt like Fallout game, it was something else. On the other hand New Vegas was a great improvement for F1/2 and F3.

1-if, like all other games of that style, you talk to people they will explain the brotherhood they don't pretend that you already know, they just don't show up saying "hey im commander ********** this is the entire history of my group, family, friends, enemies, and the 2 previous games"
2-no **** , it was made by a different company than the earlier ones
3-see 1 and 2
4-pic related

The main plot of Fallout 3 is dangerously close to a combination of Fallout 1+2:
"Fix the water! Get the G.E.C.K! Destroy the Enclave! Save our Vault! Thanks, now you're exiled"

i personally don't see the disconnect. if you're referring to the story there are 4 out of the 6 games that have very little if anything to do with vault 13 or the original vault dweller. if its the gameplay it is the easiest to learn with the most to do, see, and explore in its vanilla form. fps is a very familiar format, while the iso-turn-based style is more difficult to get used to

1 2 and new Vegas are all feature the same overall narrative that connects with itself in a coherent way with the same factions and narratives. Fallout 3 and tactics are the exception, tactics at least had most of the themes and motifs of the other games intact and but was in a location with different characters and their own progression, but events in fallout 1/2 would still be mentioned from time to time and they impacted the events that took place in that game. Claiming its OK for fallout 3 to be disconnected from the other game's narratives because tactics was too, you didn't take into account how similar tactics was and you over estimated how much relation fallout 3 had to any of the other games. Fallout 3 would have made much more sense as a standalone than a fallout game because its barely fallout at all. it lacks so many characteristics that the other games games have, the devs made the game just assuming all they needed for it to be fallout was adding super mutants and the brotherhood and the enclave, all revamped in their original appearance to the point of being barely recognizable, with nothing else fallout related at all! They essentially boiled down the first 2 games to the 2nd least significant faction from fallout 1, and the 2 main badguys rehashed and nerfed. If you renamed the enclave, super mutants, and brotherhood to anything else and changed the name of the game nobody would ever assume it was a fallout game, nobody would ever even associate it with fallout at all.

Saying someone should play fallout 3 first, is like telling someone to watch a modern reboot of Godzilla that barely features Godzilla first before the original films

to be honest i haven't actually played the first 4 fallout games, the iso play style annoys me, but i have seen quite a bit, I've read up about them because i did enjoy 3 and NV and i see a lot of similarities, the same history the same companies/products/weapons/various chit around the wastes. i agree its not great as a direct sequel but it is without a doubt a fallout game, because the important **** stays the same. the themes are there, not every game in a series has to follow the same story

"Hey, everybody! We know you're all excited for the next piece in the Fallout franchise, and we have good news. We, at Bethesda, have been working our butts off for this, and some of you might have an idea of what we are talking about. Erik Todd Dellums, or as you might know him "Three Dog", has hinted at this earlier and we are glad to announce that we have hired him for our next project, which is soon to be done.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to say that the Fallout Movie is soon to be done! Also, Fallout 4 is cancelled"

There's 1 game that was supposed to be between Fallout 2 and 3 called Van Buren, but it was cancelled. A short demo was released though.

There's 2 games between Fallout 1 and 2:
Fallout Tactics and Fallout BoS (the last is actually called Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, but that's confusing since there's already a Fallout: Tactics)
Both games didn't include roleplaying-elements and multiple choices, only the combat was RPG-based. They also ****** the lore up, as loopymoomoo said.
They were OK games for a stand-alones, but they weren't worthy of being considered sequels to Fallout. Now, usually only games by Interplay and Bethesda are considered canon, since they are the only ones that didn't **** the series up

i never gave the fallout games a chance even though owning fallout 3 and new vegas, and i've sat down and played them both and really enjoy them, in new vegas i'm using energy weapons and explosive weapons, combined with the perk for energy weapons that cause people to explode when you kill them, it's a lot of fun WITH SO MANY EXPLOSIONS, ALL OF THE TIME, YEAAAAAAAH. though now i can't fight close range or i ******* get crippled from the blasts and fallout 3 i'm doing a melee build since i can't find ammo for **** in that game. i don't have any of the dlcs for them, which ones should i get?

User avatar #38 to #33 - missbonnie (03/05/2015) [-]
well, of the 5 dlcs for fallout 3, only a few are actually good
Operation: Anchorage: overall it's a meh experience, you spend a couple of hours using unbreakable guns against holograms. and theres nothing new added. you won't miss out on much, (except a stealth suit)
The Pitt: Amazing. new place to explore and love/hate, mostly one enemy though ( ******* trogs...) and an assload of new Armour, and a new melee weapon called which is basically a homemade chainsaw. HIGHLY recommended
Point Lookout: swamps... and double barrel shotguns. thats all i really know about it
Mothership Zeta: Aliens and Alien weapons... that basically sums it up
Broken Steel: y'know that ending we all hated? well, this fixes it, so it doesn't end. plus more perks, higher level cap and PUPPIES. Again, HIGHLY recommended

******* all of them. but cuz you asked nicely, i'll give you a run down
they all also add 5 levels to the cap, and perks/guns and ****
Honest Hearts: Move to a place that has yao guai again, add rain and a guy with bandages, sprinkle some sad gun back-stories and you'll get a very decent dlc
Old World Blues: everyone loves it, cuz of all the funny **** you find, all the "faux" science, tiny deathclaws, ******** massive robot scorpians, and penis toes. oh, and another suit that talks to you, and heals you and **** . Get this one
(can't remember the actual name) Sierra Madre: robbed of all your weapons, fight the most dickish mutants you'll ever meet. lots of cool characters with cooler back-stories *ahem* God/dog *ahem*. annoying holograms and stupid speakers beware
The Lonesome Road: MUST GET, this dlc is harder than **** , givevs you ed-e the badass, makes you feel the feels, and once finished you will feel like either the king of diplomacy, or a massive cunt.

theres also gun runners and couriers stash but they just add a few guns to the core game
just get them all, and you'll get the most benefits

what made lonesome road so hard? The deathclaws I handled with an anti-material or the automatic rifle frmo dead money. Or if I wanted to take out the big guy in the cave, I spammed a bunch of satchel charges. The marked men were deangerous occasionally but i never found myself actually challenged

I've always wanted to try 1 and 2. I've played 3 and New Vegas, and 3 is a personal favorite. New Vegas was the first one I ever played, and my only regrets are that I didn't git gud or buy the DLC. Seriously, in most of my New Vegas playthroughs I never even got Power Armor training. A single Deathclaw or a swarm of Cazadores were death sentences for me.

Sulik was so sick early. If you could rush him a SMG, then the only thing you basically had to worry about was not to get mowed down by his bursts... but then again, that was no small worry

Later, his one-shot .223 skillz were comparable to other companions' Gauss weapons

the reason that NV is so similiar to the old fallout games, is that it was made by Obsidian, which is made up by former members of Black Isle, who made the original fallouts. They stated that bethesda gave them a chance to "make the game they always wanted". Infact, fallout 3 was already in development long before bethesda purchased the franchise (pic related)
The game would have featured many themes, characters and factions that appeared in new vegas, including the introduction of ceasars legion as the main antagonist faction.
