Decided to get the original trilogy off steam, I was curious though if Fallout 1 or 2 have any unofficial patches or mods that would be good for a first time playthrough? Or should I go pure vanilla?

I'd also be interested in any general starting tips anyone might want to give for Fallout 1.

Thanks in advance.

Tag either Small guns, Melee weapons or Unarmed. You will have a hard time if you don't.
