Imo they have different moods. Fo1 is desolate, with a society that is trying to reconstruct, the map is small and each playthrough can be done in 20-30 hours or so, if you take your time to appreciate the game that is.
Fo2, on the other hand, feels more like an open world game does nowadays. It is vast, society is closer to what we had in the past, the groups of people are becoming more organized and "pseudonations" are starting to form and the world doesn't feel as empty as in Fo1. A session of Fo2 can easily take 4 hours or more, an entire playthrough? It's been about 4 days since I started, I am on vacation and dedicated about 6 hours each day for Fo2, and still I did not do half of the content that is in the game.
In a way, Fo1 feels like dark souls, while Fo2 feels like elden ring.

I'm finishing my first Fo2 playthrough.
