Fallout 1: The mood and setting and pacing of the story was very enjoyable. All of the notable characters were very memorable. The combat was balanced well enough for most of the game and the ending was a pleasant surprise for me. I truly felt like I was in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Only downsides were the fact it was so short and the Power Armor/ Turbo plasma rifle were a bit overpowered.
Fallout 2: More of Fallout 1, more to explore, more story, the background of the vaults being revealed was interesting. Combat was more challenging, the places I could explore were more fleshed out than Fallout 1, and the impact on the world that the Vault Dweller had was interesting to see. Downsides were some of the ridiculous references to other media (the Monty Python references felt extremely out of place) which conflicted with the feeling of a developing wasteland, the fact that the main story seemed more linear (last boss is sorta random and forced), and less memorable characters. FO2 seemed to take itself less seriously than Fallout 1.
