I did the thing, might as well. Love it or hate it there will be plenty to post for a while about it I'm sure.

Are the FO RTS games good?

I’ve tried FO3 and New Vegas but I got about an hour into each. Not really my thing, I just don’t like games with menu diving tbh. (Starfield, s.t.a.l.k.e.r., etc)
There is no Fallout RTS that I know of, at least when RTS means real time strategy. There was a Turn Based Strategy game called Fallout: Tactics; I played it when it was released and from what I remember, it was ok, but nowhere near as good as Jagged Alliance 2.

Fallout 1 and 2 would be considered turn based isometric western RPGs (wRPG). A main component to them is that you can't do everything, in that you have choices, including how you build your character, and consequences for those choices. A funny, unexpected example is if you make a character with extremely low intelligence, they can barely talk and NPCs respond differently to it.

Not sure what exactly you mean for menu diving, other than having a shit ton of inventory to sort through (Fallout 1 and 2 has limited inventory space), but all the good western RPGs are going to have various pages/menus for leveling up and moving around the map.

I've played a few hours and its been solid so far. Hot fake pixel chick's in bikinis and shit. I mean, a black Moneypenny, whatever - but overall it appears it might end up being really solid game. The recent Hitman's were great.
The first two minutes of Mug’s review pretty much sold me not to try this one. Personally don’t like playable movies or story first games.
