Fallout has now piqued my interest, where do I start?

Fallout 3 isn't a Fallout game, it's an Elder Scrolls game with a Fallout skin mod. Bethesda is hillariously bad with story, dialogues, characters and humour. And those things are exactly what makes a Fallout game.

Skip Fallout 3 unless you love Elder Scrolls.
