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.

I did something similar - loved 3, the NV, then 4, then NV with mods, and I'm looking forward to modding 4 later (and modding 3 later too).

BUT if i were to do it again, i might start with 2, or even a quick run through 1 and 2, just to catch the original vibe. Then definitely to 3.

Honestly if you like CRPGs there’s no reason to skip over 1. It’s not incredibly long, and the tone, and characters are unique and all still hold up. It’s also a much more stable game than 2 in my experience, even with the fixit mod.
