If you do get to try FO1, I would recommend trying the FO1 on FO2 engine mod:

https://github.com/rotators/Fo1in2

Both games are obviously old school (they are almost 30 years old now), but the FO2 engine has some nice QoL improvements.

I would also get a build guide/walk-through for the first 5 hours of both games. There is a stupid amount of RNG and you have to use super cheesy tactics (really dumb kiting and constant save scumming) to survive the early game.

Things get way more fun in terms of combat balance in the mid to late game.

Oh wow! Thanks for the tips! I'll try to keep that in mind.

I would consider using a walkthrough anyway if you're not planning on multiple playthroughs, since there is a lot of fun stuff you might otherwise miss. I've always found Per Jorner's Nearly Ultimate Fallout (2) Guide the best by far:

https://lemmings19.github.io/fallout-1-walkthrough/

https://lemmings19.github.io/fallout-2-walkthrough/

They also contain a lot of useful advice you might want to check out even if you're not using the walkthrough part.

Absolutely excellent and exhaustive guide that could as well be called the Fallout Bible (if that wasn't already the title of the Fallout design documents). Would definitely recommend referring to it if you need a guide. I would actually suggest perusing the character building section even if you're not intending to use it as a walkthrough as a good character will set you up to maximally enjoy these games if you're only intending to play them once.

For Fallout 2 you should also look into some mods, in particular Restoration Project, Updated.
