Oblivion: #3 March 2006
Fallout 3: #3 October 2008 (Xbox 360 only, PC + PS3 might've put it at #2)
Skyrim: #2 November 2011
Fallout 4: #2 November 2015
Fallout 76: #4 November 2018
Starfield - #1 September 2023

To be fair, Skyrim and Fallout 4 both would have been #1 if they had released in a smarter month instead of putting them up against CoD in November, but still cool to see Starfield get Bethesda their first ever #1 NPD, not to mention it shot to #7 on the year to date chart from just first month sales (will likely finish the year around #5 there imo, I'm doubtful that last year's CoD MW2 or Jedi Survivor can hold it off, unless they have a truly killer Black Friday sale deal on those 2).
