i would not say it a sequel per say, i know both FO3 story and NV story is taking place at the same time, FO3 was made the Bethesda which was their first game to the Fallout series, then Obsidian (the creator of the fallout series and the first 2 games) got the legal agreements from Zenimax to use the same engine and coding from FO 3, they changed a little bit of the gameplay mechanics and put you back in the western area of the U.S with the factions you knew from the 1st and 2nd game, (like the NCR). FO3 is showing you a different area of the world, while NV takes you back to the area you once remembered fro the first two games. the way i see it, FO3 is it's own game by itself in a series ( like all the ES games) While NV is more of a sequel to the first 2 FO games
