Which fallout should I start with?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been wanting to get into the Fallout series for a while now. The whole retro-futuristic, post-apocalyptic vibe really grabs me, and the soundtrack—artists like The Ink Spots—is just incredible. But I’ve never played any of the games, and with so many to choose from, I honestly don’t know where to start.

I’m wondering if jumping into the middle of the series would ruin the lore or if some games are better for newcomers. I’d also love to play one that’s good for modding since I enjoy tweaking graphics and adding mods to improve the experience.

If anyone has any thoughts or recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! No pressure to reply, of course—just thought I’d ask the community. Thanks!
