I know that it has been quite some time since the last post, but I figured I'd throw in my two cents after playing Fallout 1. I really didn't like some combat sequences (I played a gunslinger with 10 agility and 10 intelligence) because sometimes an NPC on one corner of the map had to slowly shamble towards his intended target, which took ages. Maybe there's a skill/perk combo that makes combat flow faster, but I didn't find it. Moreover investing in some skills seems pointless e.g. stealing where one can endlessly quickload till they get the desired result. I was able to purchase Tandi from the great Khans for eight throwing knives stolen off various personalities in the camp including Garth himself (so keep this in mind for future dating, Codexers. 8 Throwing Knives = 1 nubile young girl). Then I stole required ammunition from all sorts of people including Hub city guards, gun runners, etc all through the quickload magic. Another two skills I found a bit useless to invest much in were Science and Repair given that you could endlessly roll and fail without no consequence (aside from the BoS power armor repair quest) and there are many way to boost said skills ingame through books.
Although I enjoyed my time overall, the above paragraph contains most of my major gripes, and I even grew so tired of the pace of combat to the extent I used a script editor to increase my crit chance and cut down the 'chaff' enemies so to speak (as I was already wiping them out without taking much damage, if any at all.) Yes, feel free to boo me for being an ADHD addled script kiddie from the current console generation who has no patient for his granddad's games. (that part is an exaggeration, as I do not have ADHD).
