This is an idea I had awhile back. I don't know if it can even work. It seems kind of complicated.
My idea was that maybe you could have a random encounter with the character you played in Fallout 3.
I thought that, somehow, if you were playing New Vegas on a hard drive that still has your profile from F3 saved on it, the game could just transfer your character data from that game to NV, or you could do it yourself if you have multiple profiles. Kind of like how you can transfer your character profile from mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2.
The random encounter would be extremely rare and would be different depending on how good or evil your character was in F3. If he was evil he'd attack you on site like a raider, but if you were good he'd offer to trade or repair your gear on the cheap. If you were neutral he wouldn't attack you and would only repair or trade with you if you passed a speech check or something, and even then his prices would be high. Or something like that.
He'd also have a lot of loot on him, maybe even a special, named weapon and a note about how he came to be in New Vegas with a couple of references to past characters and events in the Capital Wasteland. Killing him would be extremely hard since he'd always be a couple of levels above you and have a ton of HP and could heal himself.
Okay, that's all I got.
