Summer sale is here so that means we're all looking for new gaymes
Retrospectively hated Fallout 3 for its crap writing and characters. I heard Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout New Vegas were way better.
Sell me on these since they cost like $10 all together on Steam right now, as well as any other good rpg-like games with interesting worlds and all that. First person,isometric, it doesn't matter.

Get the GoG versions of Fo1 and 2. They come pre-patched with high resolution fixes so you dont have to do it yourself.
buy 4

Yes, Fallout 4 is the true Fallout experience and you should buy it instead.

They are all the same, a waste of time & money.

Where did we go so wrong?

Get New Vegas Ultimate Edition. That's really all you need.
Plus of course what >>381769432 said.

I'd say if you're unsure about FO1/2 then you're not really into cRPGs. So I'd say first buy New Vegas for 2,49$, pirate the DLCs if you want to (not too fond of them but it's very easy) and maybe add a few basic mods (really only fixes and tweaks you yourself want, e.g. I wanted to have more than 1 partner and a second radio station that plays comfy tunes so I modded those but not much more. I also wanted nightvision goggles and a motorcycle but they both sucked). Then see if you like it and if you do and you're interested where New Vegas comes from you can play FO1/2 which are fantastic as well, maybe even better than NV, but very, very different.
Don't play FO1 or 2, OP, you CANT HIT ANYTHING in them and geckos aren't negotiable

Interplay going under
>>381769365
For all the flak Fallout 2 gets for its pop culture references (that were there in Fallout 1 as well), Fallout 2 really did a lot more for the world building that you see in New Vegas. The NCR and Enclave did a lot to shape the world of NV - A lot of the praise NV gets is directly thanks to Fallout 2. It also has a lot more content than Fallout 1.
That being said, play Fallout 1 first because the QoL improvements in Fallout 2 make it mechanically inferior and going back from a better system feels frustrating.

Why would you buy games from studios that no longer exist?

dank meme
I got Fallout 1 and 2 and am going to play them. I think I've seen people say get a bunch of agility for more actions?
>>381769365
fallout 1 and 2 are shit games
3 is okay
nv is best in the series

Why do you care Todd? you still receive money from any bought fallout game, regardless of who developed it.

Yeah agility is nice. I'd say at least go for 8 for both the perks and AP. Remember you can get at least 1 agility point during the game when you take an implant. If you have fast shot trait and bonus rate of fire perk, you can attack ridiculous amount of times in one turn with high AP count.
In all honesty though, Fallout 1 and 2 were specifically designed to be able to be completed even with completely shit builds, so don't worry too much.
