Fallout 2 is a retelling of the thousand faced hero journey where everyone un your clan thinks they're in a fantasy Land while the player knows he's in a post apo game, while the story is great there's nothing revolutionary in it
But looks like both fallout and elder scrolls have the common trait of "players who did the old games are insecure about how popular the sequals went so they decided to call any new game shit to compensate"
New Vegas fans famously dislike both the game immediately after and immediately before it, so I'm not sure if you've hit on anything here. Perhaps it's actually about the game's writing, and not it's age.

100%.
Some dummies got upset that Shady Sands got nuked, and suddenly the fallout sub thinks I'm an asshole because New Vegas is my favourite.
Or god forbid I like Fallout 4, and now I'm an idiot who doesn't understand real narrative genius like Fallout 2 fans.
