Todd Howard says Bethesda won't be remaking the first Fallouts because 'some of the charm of games from that era is a little bit of that age' (www.pcgamer.com)

I'm playing Fallout 2 via GOG right now, and I would really appreciate controller support.

add it to steam as a non-steam game , if you use that for other games, and try to create a mapping with Steaminput. I have not done that for fallout, but that offers so many options that i am certain you'll be able to map everything to your controller you need.

If steam is not an option xpadder or joy2key might work for you, but i have not used them for ages.

You're best bet is doing that commentor's suggestion. Those games do not map to a controller that well and most likely will never officially receive that.

Without official support, I doubt they'll ever map that well at all, but I've got an ergonomic mouse in the meantime. Official support would still be better though. Games that only work on mouse and keyboard will be a smaller and smaller library as time goes on, if all goes well.
