@OP and @Summer, sorry I made a post that had to be deleted, should not have retaliated. Apologies. Anyway, on topic :
I love kids in games, doing the sock puppet in Fable 2, rescuing them from the slavers in Fallout 3, but I hope they are more like FO3 than FO:NV. In NV they didn't do anything, except chase rats, whereas in FO3 they were a fully realised part of the world, with quests and conversations, npcs you could interact with.
Looks unlikely though, we may be moving away from MW and OB's 'every npc in town has a name', to Fallout's 'Megaton settler'. This, imo, is a great shame, but even if they are just there to fill the towns with life and noise, and nothing else, I still think this is a welcome addition to TES.
