I posted this in a wild wasteland thread earlier but found this forum would be a better place to post it.
I have done quite a bit of research and i have come up with an idea that links the two games. An elderly NCR Veteran in a makeshift house who decided one day to leave the NCR and travel to Washington D.C. I just looked on Google maps and walking non-stop from the strip to the white house, passing through Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati before finally reaching the capitol wasteland would take 35 days. So we could make the journey about a year or so. He was one of the first troops dispatched to the Mojave region in 2253, so could say he was born in 2225, and deserted from the NCR in 2255 or retired from service in 2260. Someone could voice act him, give the script to a group of volunteers and the best sounding one gets put in. Now for his dialogue, he could say about some of the events of fallout 2, since that happened 2241-42 and he would have been a teenager at the time and heard about the Chosen one's adventures. He could also say he signed up at the age of 18 and fought in the NCR-Enclave war and how the radio on the eyebots reminds him of back west. He could say about the death of president Tandi. He would also have to describe any notable places he traveled through. There isn't much information on the wiki regarding the NCR-BOS war so he can say he doesn't know much about it. Basically, this man is an insight into the events of Fallout 2 and major events up to when he left the west. He can also say about the high presence of BOS in the Midwest due to the events of Fallout: Tactics. Mainly, all this would need is to dress the guy up appropriately and someone to voice act and lip-sync. I was thinking he could wear a re-named and maybe re-skinned Marked Trooper Armour, or he could just wear a suit, whatever an ex-military ~50 year old adventurer would wear.As for location, he could be placed in underworld since that's a neutral settlement, and requires some traveling, or perhaps just Megaton or Rivet city.
Anyone else got any ideas like this?

I have an idea. In NV we have ED-E and we find out that he was at Adams Air Force Base, so why not have him (And Maybe Whitley) there? Maybe he could be seen flying away from the base at some point. That would foreshadow his arrival in New Vegas and add to the story.
Maybe you could have him here at Raven Rock before hand?
