Do you need to play Fallout 3 before Fallout 4?
Nah, you're good to jump straight into Fallout 4 without playing Fallout 3. While they're both set in the same universe, each game's story is pretty standalone. You'll miss some neat callbacks and Easter eggs, but nothing that'll confuse you story-wise.

Absolutely not! I skipped Fallout 3 and dove right into Fallout 4 and didn't feel lost at all. The game does a great job introducing the world and its mechanics, even if you're new to the series.
Quick take: Nope, skip straight to Fallout 4. It's like watching a movie sequel without seeing the original - you'll get the gist.
Gonna be the odd one out here, but I think you SHOULD play Fallout 3 first. It's not about needing to for the story, but more about seeing how the game evolved. Plus, Fallout 3 is a masterpiece in its own right.
