I just stumbled over a discussion of what the game might have been like if both Nate and Nora escaped the vault in 2287. Admittedly, it would throw out the current (mediocre) plot, and I suppose we would also miss out on that Bethesda romance writing we all so love, but the idea of running two simultaneous characters is pretty cool. The follower system which already exists in the game could support a GTA:V style protagonist swapping model rather well and that could open up a whole breadth of strategic elements to the gameplay. You could even implement old fashioned 2 player co-op on that format.
"Tusser, they tell me, when thou wert alive,
Thou, teaching thrift, thyselfe couldst never thrive.
So, like the whetstone, many men are wont
To sharpen others, when themselves are blunt."
Anyone who has any kind of opinion fucking disgusts me.
