Shallow and janky is peak fallout.

The first one was mostly terrible and coasted on, 'not Bethesda ’ and fallout vibes. But it was shallow and janky.

I’m afraid you’re conflating “Fallout” with “Bethesda”. Fallout 1&2 are peak Fallout, and they are neither shallow nor janky. Well, maybe slightly janky but more in the sense of “dated” than Bethesda type jank.

I remember getting it because the hype around it being better at RPG storytelling than Fallout 4 which was still new was the number one thing I heard about it.
While it is better written, I’ll give it that, it very much suffers from the same lack of interesting choices that Fallout 4 has. You have rebel, capitalist, and maybe sometimes a neutral 3rd option. Having two of those three choices just make one side happy and the other mad at you isn’t exactly the kind of depth I was hoping for.
