I still like Skyrim, it's a great "Run around, steal stuff and stab people" simulator. But the Bethesda Fallouts have never really clicked with me. Three was okay-ish, NV was in the "good-ish once you get used to the jank" range and 4 felt like a grab bag of half finished ideas. Since 76 seems to to be mainly drawing from the FO4 well, I never bothered playing it.
NV was non-Bethesda developers creating a game with Bethesda’s software. Hence the very different writing and structure.
If you want something that captures the experience of older Fallout games, the new Wasteland games have a lot of overlap while still being their own thing. Wasteland 3’s main structure resembles New Vegas in that you’re always trying to figure out what faction or combination of factions to support.
They're also set in the American Southwest.
I prefer the New Old West setting in the American Southwest that Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and New Vegas had to the Washington, DC of Fallout 3, Boston of Fallout 4, and West Virginia of Fallout 76. Well, okay, I guess the Old World Blues DLC for New Vegas doesn't really fit, but other than that.
I really should try to get Fallout Nevada working again. I downloaded it but it glitched out for me in the main screen and I never spent enough time fixing it.
