Is it worth learning the retro style of the earlier games?
I'd say so
It's a little clunky and being directly inspired by Wasteland means it's deliberately antagonistic towards the player sometimes (don't pick Big Guns or Energy Weapons as a tag skill, put some points into them later)
But they're fondly remembered for a reason
They're good
First time I played 2 my tag skills were Energy Weapons, Science, and Repair
The Temple of Trials was not a good time
idk shit about fallout but that is almost exactly the list of weak skills in system shock 2 as well, what a weird coincidence
I played it recently using the mod Fallout Et Tu which is a nifty QOL mod which I can recommend even new players try, that virtually recreates the first game in the second games engine, which fixes a lot of the problems one might have with Fallout 1, like for instance without the mod if a companion or NPC box you into a corner you might just have to load a save if they don't move.
yes, but i'd recommend following a walkthrough if you stop having fun
