Builds upon Fallout 1 to create a different tale that follows the same throughlines of greed, the end of the old, the beginning of the new and the cycle of war. Has a lot more levity to it than the first game, but at its core still a rather dark story. (I don't think we're supposed to read into the origins of the NCR or Vault City, or just walk through New Reno with too much hope, as we see by New Vegas.)
Gameplay is bigger and better than the first, based upon the same system but adding more weaponry, skills and companions to make it an even more challenging and enigmatic game. You have to be able to accept failure and loss in this game to enjoy it in the best way.
Story wise, has classic fantasy themes of simple-villager-defeats-evil-empire. The Enclave are hilariously evil but deeply menacing. Highly recommend as a classic.
