VERY surprised by the diversity here. I figured it would be 90% fallout NV and 10% fallout 4 π€
for me, NV has better personality. But if I were to pick up a controller right now, day 4 is funner to play.

I'll admit one important reason is just that it was the first I played. I'd never played an open world game before so the revelation of even the possibility of there being so much depth and freedom was amazing. That said, I also think it is generally better in other ways like setup and writing.
It also had the best soundtrack. There are people who listen to the F3 radio outside of the game. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they loved the other soundtracks at all, let alone enough to listen to them repeatedly.
Diamond City Radio has major views on youtube.
sincerely, fallout 4. controversial I'm sure seeing as that game fell a lot more flat in certain areas. but I've never been that immersed into a fallout game before fallout 4.
Besides the 5 fps and how boring the minutemen quests were, the game actually wasn't too bad.
Enjoy any game you want, though. No matter how controversial it is :)
bethesda only learned how to make factions in fallout 76, before promptly forgetting it to add the brotherhood of steel for the umpteenth time.
god i miss the BoS and enclave, shame they never got much recognition by bethesda (bos appeared in most games but besides 1, nv, 3 and 4ish they never got the proper attention)
i hope obsidian or interplay makes the next west coast game, thats the last thing i want to see before i die π₯Ή
Besides all of the main games they never got attention?
The point of their state in Fallout 2 was that their militant pseudo-religious zealotry and xenophobia was killing them.
They're not in 76 because they shouldn't be in 76 at all.

I mainly meant they were sidelooked, but good point

Yeah i still miss them though, they were the funnest faction in the games
Good news! Fallout 5's intro is a 4 hour (real time) sequence of working as a paperwork clerk on the oil rig Control Station ENCLAVE on the day the bombs drop!
Bad news: this happens at the same time as fallout 2, so after those 4 hours the rig explodes anyway.
Also, somehow the game'll crash mid sequence too. Thanks todd howard!
planescape torment. looks around oh wait wrong topic sorry, fallout 1 and 2
Myron baby, Myron! Love Fallout 2!
the face of the devil himself, so glad he died
as someone with the honor of having played every (video)game in the franchise, I can say with certainty it's Fallout Shelter Online. Fallout just ain't right without dragons. /j
but honestly, it's gotta be new vegas for me. kind of a boring answer, but it's the game that truly made me a fan of the series, and introduced me to the modding scene. I wouldn't be the same if I had not played it.
remove that fucking /j right now, you're right

i wouldn't be the same either. but as i said its easy to tell a blahaj users favorite game lmao
this is bullying. banned
please no π
ok geez fine, i wont ban you, just never use that gif again holy shit
lmao, now i have to use it at least once again
NV, hands down.
I'm actually not a big fan of the Fallout games outside of NV - I respect FO1+2, especially the atmosphere and willingness to be both dark and bizarre, but don't particularly enjoy their core gameplay loop. I respect FO3 for the gameplay loop it established, but don't really have a high opinion of its writing or atmosphere. I really don't like FO4. 76 is an abomination.
Strangely, though, I have a fondness for Fallout Tactics. AT EASE, INITIATE!

This is the correct answer
People are going to shit on me for this, but Fallout 76. I spent hundreds of hours playing that, and enjoyed the social aspect. Jumping into activities with other players and getting to see their camp creations and sharing my own was a blast.
fallout 76 can be okay, and it was fun in the earlier days, when the content wasn't trying to be serious (and failing), and I've played an ungodly amount of it (thanks, FOMO). but honestly, fallout 76 is just kind of a chore. it's a grindfest like any other mmo, and I really can't find much fun in it.
IMO Bethesda has someone at the top levels who forgets to ask if the task they are assigning the player is fun or needed. Far too often things just weren't fun like trying to find a camera on the tourist to complete dailies and weeklies that required it (this is after they added it to the game a month AFTER they added it to dailies/weeklies)
There's was a time during the covid lockdown where I was paid by the government to smoke weed all day and play fo76 with my best boys. I don't have the time or energy for big live service games anymore, but if I did I'd be playing it again. I still boot it up to go around my camp like a museum of that time.

For me, Fallout: Shelter wins by default as itβs the only one I spent any significant amount of time in.

Probably controversial, but 3. I can't get into 1 and 2, NV's setting doesn't really do it for me and the exploration is very meh, and 4's dialogue and forced backstory is just awful (the gameplay loop is fun, though).
fallout 3 nailed the atmosphere if my first playthrough was any indication (quit because it was a bit too scary for my jumpy ass)
fallout 3 had the worst ending in the whole franchise, even with the DLC
"Iβm sorry, my companion, but no. We all have our own destinies, and yours culminates here. I would not rob you of that"
mf you are IMMUNE TO RADIATION, why the fuck cant you do it???
even with the dlc it calls you a coward pretty much, lmao
other than that it's not bad but not my top #1
