Fallout 3 was my introduction, if you dont count the time I tried to torrent the original fallout back in like 2005.
I like them all in different ways. But I honestly stopped caring about the lore and worldbuilding around the time of 4. It was clear it was becoming too much of a power fantasy and less about being a role playing game. T-45 on the first mission sequence? come on.
power armor got a new mechanic they had to show everyone how it works
better than the other games where you have to wait eons just to use it, and all it is is armor that weighs a ton
Power Armor was a reward for survival rather than a deliberate early-game event to show off the shiny coat of paint of graphics, animations, and a random deathclaw spawn to hide the fact that most of the classic RPG mechanics were removed or dumbed down for a Fallout-themed Borderlands game.
