The game you mostly play

If you want a top down, engrossing RPG experience, you want FO1 and 2.
If you want a good shooter with admittedly rusty gunplay, but a good progression system and a decent storyline, pick up FO3.
If you want a version of FO3 with even more freedom to change the plot and infulence the world around you, great modding potential, AND better gunplay/companions, however a slightly worse story, pick up NV.
If you want a great shooter that has tons of gear, options to customize said gear, possibly the coolest power armor in any fallout, and a massive amount of freedom, with a risky, revolutionary perk based, unlimited progression system, pick up FO4.
I, personally, am a fan of it. Is it classical Fallout? Not in any way, shape, or form.
But it's a great game, easily GOTY.
From what I've seen, anyway, I can't run it.

I like fallout 4 a lot, but it's not quite fallout. It's too much of a shooter, not enough fallout.
It's like mass effect x bioshock infinite

...This is quite a bold statement, taking in count, oh, I don't knoWITCHER-FUCKING-3. Pardon me, my RPG-maniac-senses are tingling, because only Witcher came close to what cRPG means recently (ok, PoE maybe too, but well).

That's pretty good, but add in Borderlands for the gun variety.
Gunplay isn't quite BSI style, guns don't kick enough, or have that same satisfying impact, and accuracy is a legitimate issue. Gunplay is more Mass Effect style, and it's kinda BSI-ish because much like BSI it went from dark and gloomy world to bright and colourful world.
If you added in more of the je ne sais quoi that made FO1-3 and to an extent New Vegas such good games, FO4 would easily be the best Fallout of all time.

I have never read any of the books or played any of the games, and I've seen dick all for gameplay.
Educate me, oh great one.
And I've never even heard of PoE.

Pillars of Eternity. Great fantastic game that I need to get back to. Honestly it was advertised for months on steam, kind of odd you hadn't heard of it.
