Fallout Original Fallout Appreciation Thread

Tightness of quest and time. You have limited time (which players complain about) to do a limited range of things (which, yes, should get players disdain to complain about, since it's tiny game and all).
Since I dont like limited time (despite knowing it usefulness to force players do things) and too little things to do (The Hub's quests are basically time filler, so you have quite few things left to do) Fallout 1 never impress me that much.

I know most of you have probably already seen this GDC Talk but for all those who didn't, I highly recommend giving it a watch:

The Gauss Rifle/Pistol were cool additions to FO2 but my issue is that they're a little too powerful which kind of defeats the purpose of Energy Weapons and Big Guns being late game killing machines. In the previous game the Small Guns skill was better balanced with Rifle Pistol being still pretty powerful but an inferior choice when fighting against Super Mutants and Deathclaws

I am glad they included them, because Small Guns get eclipsed by weapons like the Bozar, Vindicator Minigun, or the Turbo Plasma Rifle and the Pulse Rifle.
