Sure, but like...would it really be the end of the world if it got controller support? I'm far more comfortable on controller than I am on mouse and keyboard, largely because I work on mouse and keyboard all day.
It would be very difficult to control a game like Fallout 1 with a conventional controller, but if you really need it you can use DOSBox, which has controller support. The Retroarch core is probably the easiest to use and setup, I am not sure about the standalone version, but it is probably similar.
I'm playing Fallout 2 via GOG right now, and I would really appreciate controller support.
add it to steam as a non-steam game , if you use that for other games, and try to create a mapping with Steaminput. I have not done that for fallout, but that offers so many options that i am certain you'll be able to map everything to your controller you need.
If steam is not an option xpadder or joy2key might work for you, but i have not used them for ages.
