I'll do you one better: I haven't played a Fallout game since 2. The last thing I remember is a bunch of wasteland dudes needing a Geck, which reminded me of a luau at Mel Blanc's house!
Do I need to do any other Fallouts for New Vegas to make sense? Or am I good to just jump in blind?
Speaking as someone who has only played 1, 2 and can't remember half of 3 (because 3 sucked so I never finished it): no, you don't have to play the others to enjoy New Vegas (Although it's fun to know first hand how much better New Vegas does 3D Fallout than 3)
I haven't played 4 or 76 either. I'm not a fan of the direction Bethesda went.
Excellent. I am ~~stealing~~ legally acquiring a copy as we speak.
edit: As it turns out I already own the game on Steam, but the torrent already finished downloading after 90 seconds. Oh well!

i wish i hadn't played 4
4's gunplay and character designer are the only reasons I stick with it. I like designing characters, and the kinds of characters that NV allows you to 'design' are too butt-ugly for me to keep or build anything around
4 exists purely for Sim Settlements 2 and Far Harbor. If you can push past the Bethesda of it all, there's a fun game underneath once you fix it up.
Character Kit Remake helps New Vegas tho
nice.. only played 1 and 2 ages ago, was always sort of curious about Vegas
Nope. If anything it makes the most sense to play New Vegas after 2.
You can jump in blind
Blind works, there are callouts to 1 and 2 that might make you nostalgic but the story and region are standalone.
