Now, even if Fallout 4 maintains the recipe of the previous two games and it is rather forgiving with the players, you can still run into trouble if you are new to the genre. Even so, the new series gained a lot of popularity, and it even received a continuation called Fallout: New Vegas.
Bethesda changed it to a first-person RPG back in 2008, so many of the original fans may have felt a bit cheated.
In case you are not friendly with the Fallout series, then you need to know that it is a role-playing franchise dating back to the isometric era.
It's still about vaults, old-timey America and nuclear bombs, on the other hand, so the changes shouldn't affect the overall idea very much. The post-apocalyptic wasteland should be more or less unchanged if you are familiar with the series, although there are some interesting innovations in the gameplay department. Fallout 4 is out after many years of waiting for the fans of the franchise, so it had some great expectations to meet.
