Combat is way more interesting in 1&2 IMO, I never cared for Bethesda's "FPS-lite" gameplay.
Combat is one of the major reasons why I don't like the old Fallouts. Can't stand turn-based; it distracts from the immersion. When I play New Vegas, I feel like I'm actually in an apocalypse (especially when I play in VR). The OG Fallouts take me right out of it and back into reality as soon as a battle starts.
Maybe the reason is I played them as a teenager when they first came out. The immersion blew my mind at the time.
This is definitely a big factor. They where my first real big rpg with a good story. I was blown away by the time.
Then Fallout 3 almost wasn't a rpg at all. Big letdown for me. F:NV was much better. But it took some time to get over the similar feeling to F3.
