Which of the following best describes your Fallout gaming history pre-Fallout 4?
I've played all 5 fallouts, Fallout 1, 2, 3, New Vegas & Tactics. There are only 5 fallout games (soon 6), don't let anyone else tell you that there's one more. (I like tactics, so I consider it to be part of the series ;) )

Tactics is considered a good game if you are into that genre of gaming, but it is not an RPG like the other four, so I left it out of the poll.

Fallout 3 is not an RPG either. It's just a shooter with RPG elements. Fallout 4 will be a shooter as well

There are 6 fallout games already (you missed the ps2 / xbox exclusive title Fallout: Brotherhood of steel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout:_Brotherhood_of_Steel)
Comment has been collapsed.
No, there are only 5 puts fingers in ears Only 5, not 6, 5 is a good number, don't let anyone else tell you it's not.

BoS never existed.
On the other hand, Van Buren should have existed

Thank you for adding that! So many people seem to forget Brotherhood of Steel. It may not have been the best game, but it was still fun and played a lot like Baldur's Gate!
Comment has been collapsed.
That person means Dark Alliance, not the PC CRPGs.
Comment has been collapsed.
I keep forgetting that that one is called Baldur's Gate. Every time I hear someone talk about it, they just call it Dark Alliance.
Comment has been collapsed.
Apparently it was billed as a Baldur's Gate game because Interplay did not have the general D&D license, so they had to drop in that subtitle despite it not having any relation to the CRPGs.
Comment has been collapsed.
The game is still, if Wikipedia is to be believed, set in the Forgotten Realms D&D campaign setting though, and its rule system is based on D&D 3.X.
Comment has been collapsed.
Then you never played Baldur's Gate or Everquest Champions of Norrath on PS2, because it played exactly like them and was even developed by the same company.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not at all familiar with EQ: Champions, but when people say "Baldur's Gate" I think of the game that's only called "Baldur's gate", while people need to specify Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance or just Dark Alliance for me to think of BG: DA

Seven, actually. Shelter is an official Bethesda game.

The complete name for TACTICS is Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (a mix of tactical with some RPG) , first time i ear from the one for consoles, always thought, when someone talk about Brotherhood of Steel, was talking about Tactics.

Thank you for the link to information on Fallout Tactics. However, genre-wise, it is a game just about tactical combat. It is not an actual "Role Playing Game." Think of it as an XCOM if you will.
Comment has been collapsed.
Im agree with you, however, since the game have inventories, stats/perks, XP/leveling systems is clasified as "mix" Tactical/RPG, we can say is a hybrid of turn base (i can remember if there was an option for real time / turn based) tactical with RPG.(like Diablo is a mix of hack'n'slash with RPG)
Comment has been collapsed.
Guess you are not familiar with Tactical RPGs, because Fallout Tactics is one of those that is categorized in that genre. RPG is a huge genre and there are many sub genres that fall under it. IE...cRPG, Tactical RPG, MMORPG, JRPG, etc.
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess it's coming down to semantics I do not consider "Tactical RPG" a subgenre or mix but it's own genre that is distinct from full RPG (AKA full role-playing game). There are only 4 Fallout games that are "full RPG" and those are FO 1, 2, 3 and New Vegas. The Brotherhood of Steel one is a "dungeon-crawler RPG". Not the full immersive experience of the main four listed in the series, which is why I left Tactics and BoS off the poll.

I have only played New Vegas. :x does this make me a bad girl?#
although I did like fallout shelter
Comment has been collapsed.
Not at all, FO:NV is an excellent entry into the series. I only played Fallout Shelter up to 40 dwellers or so. Some of the special chars you unlock are key characters in FO4, but it is not an RPG. Just something to hold us over until 4's release.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, think it would take a lot more for that. A lot of people haven't played Fallout. Just like there are people out there (Me) who don't like any of the Elder Scrolls series.

25 and never played one to date. Though to be fair, I was playing WoW for almost 10 years so there is that.

So you could say...
You were not prepared?

Finished 3 and New Vegas. One of the best sequel together with BioShock imo

I actually own Fallout 1, 2 and 3, but I never found time (or enough motivation maybe?) to play them. Shame, I know.

i didn't have a chance to play the console fallout, but i played van buren. :3
also played everything else including shelter.

I have never played any of the four main Fallout RPGs

I'm well over 17 & I've never played any Fallout game, although I do own first three .. backlog

I don't know if it counts, but I rented Fallout New Vegas last year, and played about... 10 minutes of it. Control scheme threw me off, so never really "started" the game. Probably would have done more if my first experience was with a keyboard/mouse instead.
Fallout 4 looks amazing though, based on the E3 videos. The amount of customization really piqued my interest (not to mention defending the home base!!!)

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. I've also tired playing Fallout 2, but it was so outdated that I wasn't even able to run it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Certainly never picked up a fallout game. The inventory management factor just annoys me too much as I'm the type of person who picks up EVERYTHING just on the off chance you need it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Funny thing: that kind of attitude is almost mandatory in FO1/2/T, because some key items are just casually found at a location you would never have guessed in the first place. They were like Ultima games in this regard.

I'm 17 and never played any Fallout game =) =| =/ =(

Nah, I've never played any Fallout game. I am interested in it though, I've heard many good things about them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Played every Fallout game, including tactics. Shelter also but I dislike time farming games like that.
Fallout 2 is still to this day one of my favourite games (together with Deus Ex and Civilization).
Comment has been collapsed.
I am 23 and I have never played any Fallout game, actually i have never heard of them until Fallout 4. I heard they are pretty good so I bought Fallout 3 but I havent play it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I voted for "I have only played Fallout 1 and/or 2" Unfortunately I have not touched the new games in the series. But sooner or later it will happen.:)
Comment has been collapsed.
Played only Fallout 3 and it was okay.
Not that hyped for 4, coz it (probably?) doesn't have co-op and i'm a social gamer.
Comment has been collapsed.
Didn't vote because you have no option for the whole series!
I have played all 6 previous Fallout games ever made! Fallout 1, 2, 3, Tactics, Brotherhood of Steel, New Vegas and will be playing Fallout 4 when it releases tomorrow night at Midnight Eastern Time!
Comment has been collapsed.
Please tell me that you just "played" BoS and not beaten it. Nobody should suffer through the entirety of that… thing.
Comment has been collapsed.
I liked it, but I admit bias for the Snowblind game engine used in the game. I've owned all but one game made with it (Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers, unreleased for my region), and beaten all but one of the games I owned (Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code on PSP, as my system was stolen before I finished it).
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel wasn't to the same level as Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II or Champions of Norrath, but it was still an enjoyable game, even if it pissed all over the Fallout story.
Comment has been collapsed.
Totally agree with you! For a game that was on the PS2/Xbox consoles it was a decent game. It may not have been one of the best Fallout games, but it was fun to play.
I enjoyed both Champions of Norrath and both Baldur's Gate games a lot more, but again maybe it is because I enjoy Snowblind's titles.

Then, you should select option "I have played all four Fallout games (FO 1, 2, 3 & New Vegas)". I do not include Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel in this survey. Those are excluded per description. The survey is only about the four main RPGs in the Fallout series pre-FO4.

i'd like to play fallout 1 or 2, but i missed the sale, but i have played thorugh both 3 and new vegas. i have also beat all the dlc for new vegas though i havent played the dlc for 3. im gonna have to get 1 or 2 at some point cause i'd like to see where the series started

The only Fallout 3 DLC truly worth playing is Point Lookout.
Comment has been collapsed.
I played a couple hours of 3, didn't really catch me, I probably won't play other fallout game either.
I love the world, but hate the gameplay, so i might play a spinoff.
Comment has been collapsed.
The old ones were isometric turn-based cRPGs. I don't know if that would suit you better than an open world FPS or not.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's true, the old ones are very different compared to 3 and up. I love isometric rpg/tbs, but I cannot stand FPS.
Comment has been collapsed.
Same here, although I love FONV. Plus my favourite game/cRPG is still Deus Ex 1. 16 years old and still nobody managed to surpass it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am not counting the Brotherhood of Steel game or Fallout Tactics in this poll as the first was an abortion of a game and the latter is not an RPG, but a tactical strategy, combat game. I am also not counting Fallout Shelter nor am I technically counting FO4 yet as it officially launches tomorrow evening. I understand some press people have already played it, but this is more about your history with the Fallout gaming series.
Also, obligatory code for my FO:NV contest ql8pC
Edit: I am amazed at how many of you have never played a single game from the main Fallout series (44%)!
