As someone who started with 3 and is enjoying a replay and low key excited to do the dlcs on that one for the first time, these comments are making me more optimistic about trying 1 and 2.

I remember editing the files for that game and giving myself many many action points so I could practically kill every single person in one turn.
Actual hacking when it was cool and not a dick move.
I could never get into the new ones except for FONV since I felt the writing in 3 and 4 didn't capture the satirical feel of the first two games.
Ah the days of counting your action points and watching that first uzzy crit make a raider dance. If only we could get all of that artwork remade in 4k...

I put a lot of hours into Fallout 1. What a great game.
Intellectually I know it's fine. I know there's plenty of time to complete the game. I just can't stand a ticking clock counting down, constantly. It makes me anxious and completely ruins my enjoyment of the game. I also have this problem with Stardew Valley where I constantly feel like there's not enough time and I'm being pulled in several directions at once and I can't focus on anything. It's a nightmare.
That’s less of an issue with the second game, as you can ignore the timer, but yeah that’s part of why I never really tried the first game.
I think its harder to ignore in the second game, since the shaman dude constantly telepathically calls you up like "So uh, you find that GECK yet? Shit's starting to get kinda bad up here." Every now and then. The first game just has the post-it note with how many days you got left that you can ignore.

Fallout 1 and 2 are the only games in the series I've put any significant time into.

Please don't kill me, but I hate those games. There are very few 2D games that I like and fallout 1 and 2 are not on the list.
Most games I like are 2D, so that's kind of a weird statement. I grew up on SNES, though. My family skipped the N64, so I didn't even get a 3D console until the GameCube... Which I didn't even get until years after it launched.

I played them when they came out and Ive played them again recently... time has not been kind to the UI. The game is great, but the dated UI and graphics feel it.
I don't know if you've ever tried GTA 1 or 2 but you could tell Rockstar was on to something fun even if they didn't have amazing graphics.

Leave ~~Britney~~ isometric projection alone!
Curious what’s your year of birth?
FO2 is a great game but there’s no way my kids, who have only known 3D, could get into something so old.
I was around to play games from the NES and SNES. I particularly enjoyed Zelda 3 and Super Metroid, both on the SNES. Heck, I even enjoyed The Lord of the Rings Volume 1 by Interplay on the SNES. But I don't really like Fallout 1 or 2.
Whether someone likes some 2D games or not has absolutely nothing to do with their age.
I can't imagine anyone not enjoying Super Mario World or Mario 3.
Or Tetris. Some games are timeless.
Liking or disliking a 2D game is not a generational divide.
Fallout never was everyone's cup of tea.
It was a cult classic from the start. Also CRPGs have always been pretty niche, with the occasional exception they rarely break into the mainstream.
Been having a hell of a time installing the resoration patch for Fallout 2 with WINE. The last issue I noticed was with the inconsistent character case in the config and install files.
