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.

 I've now tried the scaler x2 and put it back to the higher resolution. That is so much solved!

The HD resolution works in full screen, but not windowed mode.  I was trying to do windowed, but I found some info that the old fallouts don't play well with windowed.
I was getting tired of the restrictive inventory (and no companion to load up in Nevada) so I was looking up inventory mods.  I found that Fallout 2 from GoG and Steam have the FO2 Engine Tweaks (Sfall) 3.2 in it, and you can change the line in the fallout 2 root
ddraw.ini
CritterInvSizeLimitMode=0
to
CritterInvSizeLimitMode=4
that only counts your equipped items for carry weight.
There's also a mod to make inventory management easier, though I haven't tried it out yet as it requires updating the Sfall mod to at least 4.2.8.1  I'll give it a try as soon as I figure that out.  I think an updated Sfall might be part of the restoration project though.
