Alternative consoles (e.g. Ouya), arcades, board gaming, card games, cross-platform, pen & paper, pinball, retro gaming, tabletop, and any other form of gaming that doesn't fit the other categories can be discussed here.
We should have a thread dedicated to the discussion of this amazing series. Fallout 4 just came out and I know a lot of people are playing it right now. There are also a lot of people who wish they were playing it, or are planning on playing it imminently.
There has also been some lively discussion in the BGE project about some of the differences between e.g. the earlier games and the newer 3D games, or the way the various games handle the lore. This is a great place to get into the weeds on those topics.

I've never been much of a stickler for lore continuity, especially where well over a decade and its associated hardware advancements are concerned. I loved Fallout then and I especially love it now.
I'm planning a marathon session with Fallout 4 today (and in all likelihood tomorrow). So far the best part has been finally getting my girl to try the game out after several years of goading her on. She stayed up til after two last night playing. I may have created a monster...

You may have created an opportunity to acquire a second PS4.

I didn't finish Fallout, but I played a lot of it and I really loved it.
I also had Fallout 2 but never started it because I was of course waiting to finish the first one.
Played a little bit of 3, just past the tutorial and I wasn't invested in the least.
I currently own the original "trilogy" (1, 2 and tactics), from GOG but honestly I don't know if I will ever have the opportunity to try getting back into the series.
Something weird happenened. Some hours in, my girlfriend took an interest in Fallout 4. We ended up taking turns with the controller, at this point she has almost played more than me. It did something though, I now no longer feel as in touch with the character I created.
Sharing a save file seems to weaken my role-playing experience, as well as the sense of immersion in the game world. I'm not sure how to share the Fallout experience with someone else in the best possible way. FO3 and NV have been very solitary affairs for me.

That sounds natural to me. If your character is in a different place than where you left her, has had new experiences that you haven't shared, etc. then you're bound to feel disconnected.

I tried the remote play function to play Fallout 4 on the PSVitsa. It's actually not that bad, the game runs smoothly enough. It's however harder to get a proper feel of the surroundings on the small screen, especially since the graphics have a lower res unfocued look.
I wanted to recreate the pagoda from Game of Death, but I'm tired of scavenging, and there's not really any Asian themed items or decorations. That and apparently there's a height limit to what I can build. Sadness that I was scared my PC couldn't run this...
