have you ever played fallout 2? just look at the list of cultural references in the game, it was the family guy of post apocalyptic video games.

and those "many things that contradicted the original" the issue with that is, they didnt contradict f2, bos, or tactics. Taht is where a large portion of F3s lore came from was trying to make the game fit in the entirety of the fallout universe rather than just the first game.
