Should I play Fallout 3 before Fallout 4?
Absolutely, you should play Fallout 3 first! It's not about the story continuity – because, yes, each game stands on its own – but more about experiencing the evolution of the game mechanics and the post-apocalyptic world Bethesda has crafted. Fallout 3 has its own charm and playing it first just enriches the whole experience once you get to Fallout 4.

Nah, you don't have to play Fallout 3 before jumping into Fallout 4. While they're both set in the same universe, each game tells its own unique story with different characters. So, you can dive right into Fallout 4 without missing out on the story. Plus, Fallout 4's gameplay mechanics are a bit more polished!
Just go with Fallout 4. It's newer, looks better, and has smoother gameplay. You won't miss anything crucial by skipping Fallout 3.
I skipped Fallout 3 and went straight to 4, didn't feel lost at all. If anything, Fallout 4 felt more accessible and I enjoyed it without needing the backstory.
