I think your opinion depends very much on what you think is more important:
atmosphere or mechanics.  I don't think anyone can argue that the mechanics
of gameplay were greatly improved by fallout2:  it added more weapons,
martial arts, more perks, better AI, and more options generally.  I would
also agree that it didn't really capture the "empty" post-nuclear wasteland
feel of the original, though.  Just depends on individual taste which you
think is more important.

As far as what's coming up with the fallout franchise, don't think there's a
lot of point in debating it.  We just don't know yet.
