Actually, Hitler winning WW2 has to do with Fallout. But the games don't focus on that. Fallout's genre (Crapsack World caused by Hitler winning) focuses on the amount of world-wide shit it caused, in one way (Nazis rule the world) or another (Nuclear holocaust that ends up changing the whole planet and it's biosphere, usually carried out by the not-Germany nations as a last desperate attempt at defeating Hitler).

Even if the games don't focus on Hitler winning, Hitler's victory is the reason the world is like it is in the Fallout games, and many other works in fiction. So yes, it has to do with it's scenario, even if the game doesn't downright tell you in your face like in other RPGs.

I've played Fallout 3. Felt like Skyrim, only more buggy, and with a better storyline, difficulty, characters...esentially the Vol.2 to Skyrim's Vol.1-like state. New Vegas however, didn't liked it as much as Fallout 3. And since I didn't particularly like Skyrim, and Fallout 3 felt like it, you can guess how I see Fallout 3. The previous games however, I haven't played them, though they don't interest me as much.
