Where to get into fallout series?

[LibraryOgre]

That said, none of the Fallout games are as bad as The Elder Scrolls in this regard. Skyrim starts out with a 15-20 minute long cutscene in which nothing of interest happens followed by a very tedious unskippable tutorial.

Fallout 4's opening scene is at least somewhat narratively important. It establishes who you are, that you come from before the war, that sanctuary was your home.

Skyrim is just "You are here. Now never come back here again, because none of this is important."
