I hate to say it but I've never played any of the Fallout games before (please forgive me) but this looks pretty epic!
Do you think that you can just pickup on this Fallout or is it recommended that you start from the first in the series?
story wise, i cant see it making any difference as itll be a totally separate storyline.
however, i would start with 3, then new vegas, then this
first of all, it aint out til november so youve got tons of time
and 3 and FNV are fantastic games
however if you play 4 first, the chances are if you then go to play the earlier games youll notice the graphics arent as good etc.... i made this mistake for example with far cry 1 and 2. bought all the far cry games, played 3 first, then tried to play 2 and it was okay but looked dated..
1 and 2 are very different games and will look dated no matter when you play them.
