Best entry point into the series? (lemmy.zip)

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.

Pretty sure that Fallout 2 is more a direct follow up to 1 than the other games (isn't there a sidequest that directly explains how Fallout 1 starts?) But other than that, there's only a couple references in 4 about 3 and New Vegas to the originals.

A lot of the references match with what coast the game takes place on. Fallout New Vegas has references to the original Fallout games and Fallout 4 has Fallout 3 references.

They're preseneted a lot in the "Oh that's neat" way not an ostracizing way.
