Fallout's games are completed wastelands, and the television adaptation sent a new wave of players back to the source: these quizzes are waiting for both. The structure writes itself: vault by vault, experiment by experiment, from the isometric originals through the Capital Wasteland, the Mojave, the Commonwealth, and Appalachia. Factions and their ideologies, SPECIAL and the perk charts, companions, and the pre-war world whose adverts and terminals explain how it all ended. Game canon is the canon: the show is a separate continuity and never a source here, and stems declare the game whenever entries disagree. The forensic tiers go where the terminals go: the small print of Vault-Tec's social experiments, the lore buried in holotapes, and the endings each game actually shipped with.
The front door of the Fallout shelf, and it opens onto a vault door rolling back. Seven games in this file's scope, four wastelands and change, one two-hour war in 2077 that set up all of them, and a system of seven attributes underneath everything since 1997. Ten questions on the shape of the whole line: the chip, the GECK, the targeting computer, the dog. Games canon only on this shelf: the television series is a separate continuity and never a source here. If you have finished any Fallout, in any era, you are equipped for this.
