There's absolutely nothing about Fallout 1 to 2 transition that would attribute the change that happened (Except for establishment of Broken Hills) to mutants.

Protagonist did tilt balance a bit, but only a bit. It could develop without him.

Fallout 1 and 2 were actually about preservation of status quo. It didn't change the Wasteland, it prevented it from changing. Change happened off-screen, gradually. Fallout 3 was actually about changing status quo with all this purity stuff, but I didn't play into epilogue yet to see implications if any are present.

because people can't walk across the wasteland, guys
If I were some poor fucker living in the Capital Wasteland, I'd be going to the commonwealth in a heartbeat. Same goes for the mojave, with the exception of New Vegas being relatively safe.

People travel across wasteland all the time. Not many of them, though.

I don't know how hard they are on hard, but they are very clumsy. They have block moved by mouse that isn't even glued to cursor. How do you screw up this much?

Lockpicking is at least quick and works on reflex. Fallout hacking is just a minute of staring into a puzzle I solved 100 times already straining my brain in the most boring possible way.

Those minigames that are now everywhere. Lockpicking minigames, hacking minigames, whatever. I don't understand why they exist. Who is the guy who feel like he needs to add some match-four minigames in his game? Does anyone find hacking terminals in Fallout 3-4 fun? Was there some kind of review of original Fallout or Deus Ex or something that say "Yes, the game is really great, but it could use some sh**ty f**g minigames in it to be perfect"

More likely you just put the guy in control of Ruthenia. There are specific conditions under which your claims are going to actually get you under control of the place you're pressing (you're de jure liege of the land which you're pressing the claim on or the person who has the claim is a member of your dynasty, mostly)

The province was independent for a moment before turning to Ruthenia. King of Ruthenia now changed.

Now I made primogeniture in my Empire but my kingdom of Hungaria is still Gravelkind and it doesn't seem too good.
UPD: And boy is it bad. I now have one province and everything else is divided between two kings. They are technically speaking my vassals, but considering I have slightly over 500 personal levy, it seems very very bad indeed. I even lost my capital somehow, and now reign in just build castle.
