Alright, I got Fallout running with all of the mods you guys suggested, but there's a problem.
It runs like shit in any resolution above the default, and I don't know why. I'm pretty sure my computer should be capable of running a game that was released a decade ago with more ease than this.
Thanks for the quick responses, guys! I'm probably gonna play through Fallout 1 first - anything I should download for that game, or should I just play it vanilla?

That's right, guys, my only experience with the series is Fallout 3. When I first came here, I was like 'whoa, what's with the hate, man?' but then I got to thinking... if an entire community of (clearly hardcore) Fallout fans does not appreciate the direction Bethesda went in...
Hey, whoa, Infamous had a cool story. Sure, it dragged on a bit, but the ending made it all worth it.
Anywhos, the West seems to have been a whole lot less ravaged by the Great War than the East was, so it's reasonable for a place like the Capitol Wasteland to not have made as much progress...
