I much prefer Fallout 2 to Fallout 1, so I agree that it is a much better game (plus no stupid time constraint).
Anyway, if you go with Fallout 2, you can't lose, so, have fun.

There are some F2 mods listed in the Fallout subforum here on GOG, neatly collected in a separate thread. When you're done with the game, you may want to check them out.

Thanks I will look onto in and save the link, and definitely download some after I will finish both Fallouts :)

Fallout 2 has one true game saving addition that sounds utterly minor, you can puch people out of the way.
I once lost an hour of progress in F1 because of the retarded henchman standing in the doorway of the one and only exit from a small room. I couldn't move far enough away to trigger him to move, no amount of waiting made him move and even firing him didn't help.
When I discovered the push feature in 2, I spent a good 5 minutes ust shoving people around for fun
