Well, what ones do you want to play first?

All the games are pretty disconnected story wise, you don't need to play Fallout 1 to understand 2 and the like

The first two are turn based CRPGs common of the 90's, and 3, NV and 4 are first person/third person RPGs

If you don't like isometric gameplay don't start on F1 or 2. If you do, well, hope you can tolerate 90s gameplay.

Try to specialize something in your perk/skills. Jack of all trades, while sounding logical, renders the game unnecessarily difficult.

FNV is better than 3 despite having a discount store RDR vibe initially.

Like, F4 in particular?

If you're into crafting (settlements, guns, or armor) then invest in perks like gun nut, armorer, science, etc. If you just want to fuck shit up invest in the damage perks. Stealth is harder than previous Bethesda games, so you'll actually need to invest in it now if you prefer that playstyle.

Really just focus on what you actually want to do in the game. Jack of all trades doesn't work well this time around.
