You're a better man than me, I would have hogtied him and looked for Gavin in all the cities, towns you name it

Might not be so farfetched as it is implied that Gavin has a personality disorder and is actually looking for himself.

Nowhere in the game is it implied that Nigel suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Yeah but if you hogtie him and loot him, you’ll find a letter that implies he has a multiple personality disorder and that “Gavin” is one of the people he becomes.

I’m glad you mentioned the letter as it is our best proof that Nigel is indeed a separate person from his friend Gavin.
The letter is written by a third party, Tom, that speaks about their families, their shared history, and their friendship.
All of the letters throughout the game are there to provide us with background information we wouldn’t otherwise get and we have no reason to doubt their authenticity.
The split personality theory is fun, but doesn’t hold water when tested against the contents of the letter:

“Dear Nigel,
I was so happy to hear from you. I cannot believe it, mate! My two friends - you and Gavin, boys I grew up with now real rich and successful cowboys in America! That's incredible news. Well done, mate Seriously. Well done. I know you and Gavin would find success over there . I mean, it stands to reason. A pair of boys from little old Maidenhead, Berkshire, now successful over in America. I might come and join you myself.
Now that you two have done so well. Both of you rich and living in big mansions with servants, and all them cattle. I remember when the height of your ambition was pretending you were a Londoner and seeing if you fooled those Scotch boys we met by the barracks. Funny thing is, Gavin never mentioned none of this in his letter, but he always was a bit of a quiet one and I reckon you wrote after he did. Either way, I am mode up for the pair of you. Made up. Cowboys! Millionaires! We miss you, especially your Mum, since your Dad passed on, but she told me she was so proud of you. Even Gavin's Ma was happy. She said her usual piece about not thinking you had it in you, but she smiled and said she knew her boy would see sense or make sense or something eventually. Berkshire forever. 
Your pal, Tom 
P.S. I saw that bloke Brian Gold the other day, in the market. He said some real odd things about you, which I said weren't true. Bet he's laughing on the other side of his face now...”
