So, not having played it, I can't provide any feedback on the system - but if you find it's not to your taste, I've played Fallout games in
other systems:
- Once, using a percentile-based fan-made Fallout RPG based on the old isometric games. I don't recommend that system, since it's an amateur job that's a bit too faithful to the design of the computer games rather than tabletop (or play-by-post).
- Once, using Warrior, Rogue, and Mage, which I also don't recommend because that's a very simple system designed for fantasy and doesn't adapt well to guns.
- Once, using d20 Modern, which I thought worked pretty well (since d20 Modern is a pretty generic system), but good luck finding a group of d20 Modern players nowadays.
Why do I bring that up? Not because I recommend any of those systems, necessarily, but because I think Fallout is relatively easy to adapt. The Fallout setting, despite its zaniness, is pretty intuitive and can probably be run in any system designed for modern or futuristic settings - so if 2d20 isn't your thing, don't be afraid to use a more familiar system.
