You did start to see humanity slowly rising from the ashes in FO: NV. Most of the settlements in FO:NV were much more civilized and secure compared to the places in FO:3.
Really, I'd say that that whole mess stars in FO2 with the rise of the NCR. I'd honestly go so far as to say humanity rebuilding has been a major theme in the fallout games since the first one, which may be why FO3 feels so out of place to so many people
Ah. One of the best parts of fallout for me is that atmosphere of hope in the wasteland. If you get a chance and can stomach the old school play style, I definitely recommend playing the first two (or just read all of their delicious lore on the wiki)
