the part between the beginning and the end

Just beat Fallout 1. Took me a couple of tries till I got into it and I got a little stuck here and there but this was a fantastic game. Great ending too.
Felt like at a certain point the game really picks up speed right up until the ending. I bet if I were to replay the game now I could finish the main quest in a few hours with full power armor and all.

What should I know before Fallout 2? Is it longer?

Why don't games advertise like this anymore.

so should i get some mod or patch to make the game a bit better for my first playthrough? any other tips?

I dont want to sound contrarian but I think fallout 1 is a good example of how somewhat overhyped Obsidian/Black Isle is. Don't get me wrong, i really like Fallout 2 and obsidian games in general but the inhouse development studios at Interplay, at the time, had a better idea of how to handle the design of fallout. 2 also makes it how obvious of a formula Obsidian has been following for a long time.

I think i'm stretching a bit with this next point but Fallout 1 is the only game that actually gave the feeling that is evoked by this image, which was the installer image used for the old game CD, way back in the day. The only thing that comes close in future fallout games is Lonesome Road in new Vegas, which is why that one is my favorite of the NV DLCs.

Fallout 4 ALMOST had this with the glow but bethesda doesnt know how to capitalize on what is actually good in their games....
