FallOut 3: Squeal or Just Another Game?

I hate posting topics like this and hate reading topics like this but let me ask you guys. Do you have to play FallOut 1 & 2 to play 3 or is 3 just a game that's not a squeal to the previous titles?

Thanks!

not exactly sure. Bethesda tends to develop their own plots pretty well and will somewhere in the mix have the story of the last 2.

so im guessing its not needed to understand the game but probably better if you want the whole story

Its sequel...

Anyway, I think its different but since Ive never played the previous, Ive got no idea.

Bethesda said themselves that they are aiming towards people that never played the series. So you dont have to worry. Fallout 3 will have a story of its own.
