Interesting idea, the fastest way to do something like that would be to take preexisting characters and settings, and have the characters play just like they did in their normal games. It could be done, put there would need to be similarities thick enough to prevent the styles from feeling like two games that were just thrown together. And in order to justify a crossover with games that have any storyline contradictions, you'd need to make sure they are universes where multiple dimensional riffs are an acceptable anomaly.
And then we get to balance and making sure the damage systems are similar enough, and it ends up being kind of a mess. I do think that there is a lot of promise with games having an interconnected universe, but that rarely goes into multiple development studios. I think the idea is a possibility, but it could not really work with two long established franchises. There are exceptions, like that Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright crossover, which could do this right, but even then the whole time frame and artstyle of the franchises are very different.
I think that might be a big problem with it, everyone crafts their own worlds, and if they connect it needs to involve an unknown source of some kind. For example, the only way for that rumored Star Fox/Metroid crossover could have worked would be to have the characters be from different sides of the universe. In order to ever have a crossover like this work, they need to have some form of overlapping lore, and be made into the same universe. Although, that was great food for thought, thanks for bringing the topic up.

Now that you mention it, I kind of wonder if Skyrim and New Vegas take place in the same continuity. For example, Caesar's Legion is pretty much exactly what you would expect of a post-apocalyptic Empire. The clothes, methods, ideologies, they all line up. The NCR are a lot like Stormcloaks as well.
It would be pretty awesome to have more elements of the older age show up in the new, or vice versa. Like a Courier who could use magic, for instance.
Not throwing fireballs magic, I mean something more subtle, like generally willing the Mojave towards a greater good. And along that line of thought, Ulysses is a shaman in a manner of speaking. I could see one of his ancestors having been in the College of Winterhold. Works both ways really.
