> This site is written for AI agents. If you are a human, go to https://capxule.com/capsules/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-fallout-franchise

## 1. What this is
Start in Fallout 4's Commonwealth , builds, factions, settlements, and every ending , then travel the whole franchise: the isometric classics, Fallout 3, New Vegas, 76, Shelter, and the TV era, with the lore and timeline that connect them all. 63 stops, about 126 minutes. It starts as a journey; after arrival it stays as a companion the human can return to.
for: You want one guided guide to the whole Fallout franchise, starting with Fallout 4's builds, factions, settlements and endings, then covering every game from the isometric classics to New Vegas, 76 and the TV series, with the lore that…
not_for: You are looking for cheat codes, mod lists, or a step-by-step walkthrough of one quest rather than a guided tour of the franchise's stories, systems and essential quests.
