From what I remember Fallout 1 ended. It was also TIMED which made it brutal. If you took too long, the super mutants kill everyone, and game over. So 3 is definetly looser than that.
Fallout 2 I never ended up beating, it was pretty rough.
Also who judges it as a shooter? TBH I'd love it as a shooter with that much depth, it's deus ex again.
Incredible game, I have no criticisms of. Slaughtered Fable 2 and the other RPGs of the year easily.
