Um, I played Fallout 1 first. Then I played Fallout 2. Then I played Fallout 3. Then I played New Vegas. Then I played Tactics. Then I played Fallout 4.
I don't have an excuse, I didn't jump into the game from Fallout 4 lol.
either way im just saying that a lot of people jump into games without playing previous ones
for instance i jumped straight into Halo: Reach and Halo: 4 without playing CE or 2 or 3
i read up about them and saw videos about them to understand the storyline and stuff
molten can easily do the same
