head to head
BeholdervsFallout
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Beholder

Dystopian management adventure about a landlord spying on tenants for a totalitarian state.
Fallout
Optimization · Pure Optimization
The original post-apocalyptic CRPG where character builds solve the wasteland.

Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Beholder
Simple point-and-click landlord actions
Fallout
Turn-based, no dexterity
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Beholder
Tenants follow scripted schedules, not adaptive
Fallout
No adaptive opposition
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Beholder
Tenant events and directives surprise first runs
Fallout
To-hit rolls and random encounters

Beholder
Money, time, and blackmail decision routing
Fallout
SPECIAL builds and quest routing are deeply solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
