I absolutely disagree about unplayable
I've recently played it and it's kinda unplayable on Steam. So many issues and errors refusing to start. The gog version however works perfectly for some reason and I've played through the story. Found some bugs here and there like some quest not registering and the ending not acknowledging the stuff I did at the town with the casino, not the one down south. Also can't fucking believe the

Overseer kicks you out despite you saving the vault which is total bullshit...My first attempt to play was only a couple years ago on a modern pc. It didn't work out. I figured it was just not running correctly. I'd bought them in a bundle, and just figured they were pieces for my collection, not actually games anymore.
Definitely playable but it can be a chore at times. 2 is slightly better
2 is significantly better imo mechanically, and if you throw a handful of mods on top of that I think it just plays really well in general.
Apart from the beginning. I love FO2, but fuck the temple of trials and the first couple of hours.
When I played through last I modded out the whole temple of trials. Such a waste of time.

Temple of Trials was 100% executive meddling.
Executives demanded a tutorial level, and thus the temple of trials was forcibly conjured into existence against everyone elses insistence and desire.
its the only black mark on a otherwise fantastic game..unfortunately its right at the start and sours to many people on the greater game.
