I tried to play fallout 1

[DanCalibur]

It's one of those games that are hard to start but become hard to stop once you get the hang of it. If you beat 1 you'll probably start 2 right after it.

the first two fallout games are products of their time. They're more strategy-rpgs than 3 onwards, with a primitive interface. They can still be worth playing if you take the time to learn the ins and outs.

My take is to instead of playing 1 or 3, start the series on TTW instead at Capital Wasteland so you get to experience the birthday party.

I'm still stuck on the mother deathclaw outside Gunrunners

The BEST place to level up in the entire game. Be happy and enjoy.

Yeah, I'm not in a hurry to let the gunrunners move in. I take 2 deathclaws at a time.

I recommend some energy weapons and power suits from military bases. Search them out.

I hope you at least stuck at it long enough to slip a lit bundle of dynamite into someones pockets, or to blackmail a street vendor over his secret meat source for some free cash.

They didn't make it out of the Vault cave bro. Probably died to rats...
Mouse clicking and spacebar was too hard for them. They never would figure out how to pickpocket.

just punch rats for half an hour, it might work

the controls were too confusing though so I uninstalled

Honestly the controls are actually simple, but god, everything is so slow and cumbersome. I'll just say that all the controls you need are in those buttons in the bar down in the bottom bar. To move you click where to move, to attack you click your weapon and select target, if you click the weapon you automatically enter the fighting mode, there's a button that literally says "end battle" or something like that that takes you out of that mode (as long as you are in immediate danger), there's a button in a corner of the weapons that make you change weapons, to interact with objects and people you... click on them. To use skills you open the skilldex (in the button that says "skilldex") and click the skill and in what or who you want to use it if relevant. Annoying and slow, yeah, but complicated? Not really.
