Yeah there are some really good mods for Fallout 2, even including some rudimentary party member control which helps a lot.
I also want to shout out the mods Talking Heads and Talking Heads Actually Talk which while yes, you may or may not want on a first playthrough are both fantastic and blends right in with vanilla.
There was certainly a good deal of that, but my main issues were with “of the time” content stuff - sexism, bigotry, ableism, etc. Things to be expected in “edgy” nerd media of the time. Like I said, though, still fun to play through.
For the more technical roughness, I highly recommend Fallout1in2 (if you have both 1 and 2), as well as the Fallout 2 Restoration Project. Both of those completely smoothed over the rough edges for me and added a number of QoL things that were very appreciated.
Aged poorly as in the controls/UI? I remember seeing that people had modded some QoL changes, but I still haven’t taken the plunge.
