I just finished playing FNV and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It was my first fallout game, is there another worth playing? Or should I finally try an elder scrolls game (I have never played one of those either). Is there another with decent choices, skills, and the ability to get immersed into the universe?
(pic just for attention as I went neutral)

play fallout 1

Vampire the Masquerade is a wonderful RPG, it's more linear and has pretty shitty boss fights but the world and story are amazing so check that out.

I have seen many threads about it. I dont mind linear if done well (subjectively speaking). Are there builds (skills, diff weapons, etc)

Play 1 and 2 and then forget the series exists.

Fallout 1, maybe 2. Those really show their age and have plenty of flaws, but the world is pretty cool.

Yeah there are plenty of skills but most of them don't show up if you don't have the requirement. Different clans have different dialogue options in certain conversations, I'd recommend to play any other class that isn't a malkavian or nosferatu. Malkavian is an easter egg character and nosferatu is hard mode.

The main thing to keep in mind is to put points into both combat and social skills. Also foculs on persuasion, intimidate and seduction have few uses.

vtmb is a very good recommendation. If you're going to play it make sure you have the fan made patch applied. You don't need the one with extra content, but definitely get the one that fixes a lot of issues with the original game.

My fnv playthrough was maining speech (and guns), so I will def take your advice and run similarly. BTW will it play on win10? Or is that what the patch is for?

I think it should work just fine on win10. The patch is for some gamebreaking bugs regardless of os.

Excellent. thank you, I might start this as early as tonight, and thank you for your advice as well (if it was a diff user)

Elder scrolls games have atrocious combat. Fallout 3/4 have almost identical gameplay to NV(I enjoyed fallout 3's setting the best)so if you enjoyed exploring the wasteland and shooting badguys you'll enjoy them. The issue is the writing. NV is the only modern Fallout with a compelling story and cast of characters, 3 and 4 pale in comparison. So don't expect any characters to rival House or Caesar.

Fallout 1/2 are top down CRPGs, apparently they have great stories but you have to know if you'll like the gameplay or not.

I agree, the issue here is that not everybody will be willing to play old crpgs. Op, if you're prepared for it, might as well try Planescape Torment.

Play Fallout 1 and 2. Don’t touch 3, 4 or 76. And don’t touch Elder Scrolls games unless you’re looking for coom mods.

I have heard so much "bad" about 4 (mostly about the choices, story) but 3 seems hit or miss around here. I like the look of the aesthetic as well (of 3) but never played. Another user earlier suggested VTM and I am interested but I am ultimately looking for something that I can get immersed in, has skills/builds/checks, etc. and honestly, I do enjoy VATS occasionally (idk what other games have that turnbased addition to the normal fps combat). Also a decent story would be nice but characters & setting matter more to me

I guess I'm gonna play this AGAIN. FUCK. I wanna finally do a bad guy run. What's a good way to do that that isn't just killing everyone I see? I wanna be a more subtle influential evil. Like the Judge in blood meridian.

Play 2. Also 3 is okay if you like Oblivion.

I was hoping to hear some good come out of 76 after the steam launch. The only time I play MMOs is solo so that seemed cool in theory but prior to NV I had never played a Fallout (as I said in OP) Admittedly, I am turned off by isometrics of 1/2 but they are short from what I hear and I wouldnt be against them just was hoping there was something non iso that fit the bill

I WILL NEVER DIE!

oh wait, you meant the actual judge who is an implicit pedo over an explicit pedo

Legion Inflitrator in NCR and intentionally sabotage shit as best as you can by getting the worst endings in most quests, lets you have a shit load of content and allows you to be EBIL

legion is unirionically better than the independant ending with no army

Did i play this game too late? its too easy and i keep getting really rich on accident

>tfw you get so far without a solid save and fucking steam overwrites your soft auto saves with the old as fuck ones it has from three goddamn playthroughs ago
just fucking kill me

Fallout 1 is a relatively short game, so I would go for that one. For what it’s worth, I think Fallout 3 is a decent game, and it’s easily the most similar to NV

I never played Oblivion (never played any Fallout or elderscrolls game until NV just now). Is 3 worth playing after NV?

With Caesar or Lanius at the helm?
Play Hardcore/JSawyer or the Dust Mod if you want to grind your balls to a pulp
New Vegas is more Fallout 2 with the gameplay of 3 Tbh

yes

>Play ALL sides as long as you can
>side with powder gangers
>betray them to NCR
>have guns and speech as a skill
If only leave the mojave was an actual ending. What would a good 3rd tag skill be? Also I can't think of what the SPECIAL would be for you. Maybe strength and intelligence?

anyone else have the courier fuck christine in their headcanon?

Isometric is so tough for me, so many classic well renown games that I gimp myself from playing due to ultimately aesthetics. I need to find a good iso game that can allow me to enjoy it fully and then hopefully can opne myself to other older classics that are iso

Lanius is an alright guy to talk to but he fucks everyone over, Caesar for what he’s worth at least tries to be benevolent tyrant when he takes over

no, independent vegas is still far worse

Playing everyone only works until you hit midgame then it forces you to pick sides
She’s gay though

>New Vegas is more Fallout 2 with the gameplay of 3 Tbh
Interesting take. This is making me more interested in 3 now. I want to play 2 (I hear great things) but again that iso for me is something to get over. But good to know 3 is at least similar in gameplay (although I hear the writing is subpar compared to nv)

Just because a girl likes a girl doesn't mean she's gay. Could mean she's bi or that she's just a woman.

that h

Lanius literally murders/crucifies entire settlements, at least in the anarchy not everyone ends up fucking DEAD

nah, they just suffer forever

Lanius at least settles Vegas.

Fallout 2 has the most content out of all of them by far. Fallout 3 has two god tier DLCS that are must plays for anyone who likes Fallout
>Point Lookout
>The Pitt
If you like Fallout I recommend at least playing the game for those DLCs alone

Fallout 3 is more like 2 with its wacky humor and poor worldbuilding

hardcore just means i cant carry anything and i use two less guns, are there any builds that make the game more challenging in an organic way

Abso-friggin-lutely. Headcanon that we bang in Keyes’ room before I go down to face Elijah as a sort of “in case I die” thing.
All women are bi

Lanius is a military occupation and its clear as soon as he fucks off to murder NCR the Mojave will be fucked again. Same shit as the Speech check for him in the ending

>starting with the best one (story+QoL wise)

You made a mistake, you now risk not being able to get into the classics (which are overall better) if you don't have the stomach for turn based and general gameplay design from the late 90s, and the other 3D games are fucking shit.

so the same but with the stability of the legion

meh

Oh that’s easy, Hardcore explosives only

you did sleep with best waifu, right?

There is nothing more satisfying than killing this faggot during a Legion run.

best advice in the thread

Of course. I gave her that last egg

3 was the first fallout for very many people so it has nostalgia points with vague qualities like "ambience, feeling, soul" etc etc, ie fond childhood memories.
