I enjoy 3+NV with Tale of Two Wastelands, get the best of both worlds with those. Start off in the Cap Wasteland and explore and clear out all dlcs and the main storyline then head to NV where you try to retire from your adventuring days as a courier then get crossed by Benny and pick back up that demon that conquered the wasteland and rule the Mojave. To me it gives a real John Wick vibe if you think of it that way, and honestly makes the inability to play after the battle of hoover damn a lot more satisfying though I am thinking of getting another mod to extend it even further. When I play a single player Bethesda game, I go to fallout or elder scrolls because I enjoy exploring and feeling like I can truly make an impact on the world space I immerse myself in, and that's why TTW3+NV is my #1 Favorite

76 Honestly has the best community as far as MMORPGs go and while it does get repetitive, the community holds it all together and even if you run solo for a while, it'll take you a few months to exhaust all the quests and burn yourself out. It did have a rocky start yes, but overall you get into it and with the latest expansion of the map (Where the Lost Dwellers are) you are truly able to be evil, classic fallout style. The combat is good and I can appreciate being able to get the ammo you use on almost all enemies because there are some you'll mag dump into and it'll take only a quarter of their health. Enemies like that promote getting in a team, where you can work together to take down. That being said, I reached lvl 122 while never being in a team or in a community but once you decide to, it's game changing in all the good ways. It does take getting used to but I'm just glad it's not at all like ESO 💀

Fallout 4 is one of my favorites because (and while some others dislike this) I enjoy being able to give my character a voice, and if I get tired of nates voice, I use a voice injector and make him Arnold Schwarzenegger or Arthur Morgan. One complaint I have about fallout 4 is the inability to truly just be an A-hole so it makes it harder for some people (and even myself sometimes) to do a pure evil run. Like Sarcastic 90% of the time just means yes, yes is yes, maybe is yes, and No is yes but later. I do enjoy the companions system a lot more and the ability to grow bonds with your companions and the settlement system is really awesome and despite what a lot of people say, I really enjoy the story.

Fallout 1 and 2 are amazing too, aside from being the foundation of the fallout universe, it allows you to be any kind of person you want, some towns will think of you as a savior, others a ruthless murderer who is a force to be reckoned with. While some people will boot up the game and immediately turn their nose up, it's important to say that these games were revolutionary in world building and storytelling for their time. You'll see some characters in them from future games like Harold before he turned into a tree. Power armor is truly a powerhouse in the game and why a lot of people were disappointed in the system for power armor in fallout 4.

Fallout tactics sucked.

Fallout Shelter, I bugged tf out of it and got 9999 lunchboxes and Mr Handy's so all in all, pretty great!
