i've never played any of the fallout games but i've always heard great things about them. i was able to grab fallout tactics and fallout 2 at the bargain bin today but i don't know if i should hold out to get the original fallout first or if i will be okay to just dive into tactics.
what to do?

Or you can forget about Tactics altogether. It doesn't build upon things that made Fallouts so great. It might be of some interest to a casual tactics fan, otherwise stay clear of it. It clearly showed that the cars weren't included in Fallout engine for a reason.

I echo that opinion. It's a fun enough strategy game involving Fallout characters. Though I agree that it pales in comparison to the "real" Fallout 1 or 2 RPGs.
Still, it's much much much better than that Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel you'll find on consoles. Yuck.

If you'd get the full experience plot-wise you should start with Fallout 1, but you can start also with Fallout 2 and still get the idea. Also if you start with Fallout 2 you'll get to start with those little gameplay improvements, though they're mostly minor.
