Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout 2
Fallout 1
Fallout 3

I have played a bit of Fallout 4, but certainly not nearly enough to even consider ranking it, but I guess I'd still place it at the bottom most likely, from what I experienced. Mind you, I still had fun with it at the end of the day.

Toodles.

I'm one of the punks who can only get into the 3 and on games, unfortunately.

1. Fallout New Vegas - One of my favourite games of all time.
2. Fallout 3 - An amazing game
3. Fallout 4 - A terrible RPG, a terrible narrative driven game, a terrible FPS and an atrocious third person shooter. Cannot stand this game, no matter how I try to look at it.

I haven't played New Vegas yet, so clearly I'm missing out.
I've got it. It's been sitting in my Steam list for a long time, and I'll get to it. But it'll be a while before I can.
Anyway, aside from that it's 2, 1, 3, like Duck's.

Oooh a list!

Lets see for me its:

Fallout New Vegas + DLC - I've only played it on 360. I dropped probably close to thousand hours into this game. I rarely took the disc out for a couple years(except for Oblivion and Mass Effect). Edit: Finally picked this up on PC a couple weeks ago. So much better with mods. Haven't had a chance to play it much yet though.

Fallout 3 + DLC + Mods - Ditto the above except I didn't have my own Xbox when I first played it. Later on I did and I pretty much played nothing else until New Vegas came out. I eventually got it on PC some years later so I finally got to play with mods but I just couldn't finish it. Played it too much I guess.

Fallout 4 + Mods (No DLC) - I spent a lot of time with this game, though NOWHERE near as much as 3, let alone New Vegas. It was one of the only Xbox One games I had for a while. I brought my buddies One + three games. Didn't like it much in the end.

I have yet to play Fallout 1 or 2, but I've always heard good things and I really want to. Maybe nows the time?

* Fallout 1
* Fallout Tactics
* Fallout 2

Fallout 1 was a wonderful experience. I loved the atmosphere. The difficulty and length were just right for me. In comparison, Fallout 2 felt overwhelming due to its complexity and length. With civilisation now rebuilding itself after the nuclear apocalypse, the atmosphere was also less gripping.

My playthrough of Fallout 2 lasted from 2012 to 2021. I started on Windows XP, continued on Windows 8.1, and then finally finished the game on Windows 10. At around 20 hours in, I realised I had installed an unpatched original release from disc. Later on in the playthrough, I had issues with crashes at certain locations, items disappearing from the inventory, and even UI elements becoming nonfunctional. Several times I lost an hour of progress or more because I had to go back to an earlier savegame. Some sidequests I could not finish because the game crashed in areas where they take place. I could not patch the game retroactively because savegames from an unpatched game are apparently incompatible with a patched game and I did not want to start from the beginning again. So I soldiered through and avoided the bugs as best I could. It felt like a huge accomplishment when I finally completed Fallout 2 in 2021, despite all the issues with the unpatched game.

Fallout Tactics was alright for what it was. I enjoyed it.

I'm changing my list:

New Vegas
2
1

And I wish someone would make a 4th Fallout game.

I thought they made 76 of them? ...I may be confused about the numbering scheme...
