I think Fallout 3 may actually be, at least in some ways, a remake of both Fallout 1 and Fallout 2.

Your main quest involves Project Purity, the original Fallout had you searching for a Water Chip. Although on a much larger scale, Project Purity did mostly the same thing.

The main antagonist, President Eden, is a combination of both of the previous Fallout's villain. One was the Super Mutant leader The Master and the other another President and leader of the Enclave. Eden both wanted to preserve the purist humans, ala Fallout 2, and use the FEV to create his new strain of the human race, Fallout 1. If that wasn't enough he can be forced into a suicidal downfall as well, taking his own life.

Super Mutants were once again made from captured humans in a lab, and there was even a cult although it didn't play as big a role.

The only returning character is the mutant Harold and his tree Bob, although he doesn't demonstrate any past recollection of prior events when the previous Vault Dweller and his decadent both met him.

Not only this but the Enclave is still perfectly intact, where at the ending of Fallout 2 they are almost completely destroyed.

If that wasn't enough, you even have to find a GECK at one point in your mission.

I don't think Fallout 3 was ever intended as a sequel, but more as a reboot of an aging franchise for a new generation.
