The make or break for me will be whether the story engages me or if I've just so used to the QoL enhancements that we now have it becomes problematic. My next task is to play with with resolution/settings as currently the graphics don't make my eyes bleed but I can hardly make anything out including the text!

The initial 'trial' bit in Fallout 2 is a bit annoying, especially if you don't choose certain skills to get you through it.  IIRC there is a mod to let you skip it if you want.  There's also an "HD" mod.
I came across people talking about playing them in chronological order. I found this post at NMA for the early games & mods
Fallout: Nevada - Year 2120
Fallout - Year 2161
Fallout: Sonora - Year [It's a secret]
Fallout: Resurrection - Year 2170
Fallout: Tactics - 2197
Fallout 2 - Year 2241
Fallout: Yesterday (the latest build) - Year 2253
Fallout: New Vegas - Year -2281
So I decided to try Nevada, which is a mod of Fallout 2.  It's supposed to be a lot more story than the other games.  It has the HD mod, but the resolution I'm setting doesn't seem to do anything.  The scaler works though - which I'm using 2x, it looks better than without the scaler.
