The course of history has a habit of plucking individuals from its stream and making them, by complex processes, tribunes of a class—figureheads onto which the demands of an era are projected and through whom they find voice. Martin Luther, Maximilien Robespierre, Karl Marx: these are less individuals than they are avatars of their epochs. Now, another joins their number: Danny Trejo, Hollywood actor and, as of recently, Bethesda reply guy.
Bethesda was making all manner of hullabaloo about its Fallout Day celebration in the run-up to the event. That includes, of course, social media posts. One day before the event, Bethesda posted a reminder to its Instagram, urging fans to tune in for announcements and merch drops about Fallout 76 and Fallout 4.
Our Danny wasn't distracted. He was in there like a flash on his official Danny Trejo Instagram account: "Remaster New Vegas boss! 🔥" our hero demanded, right there in Todd Howard's backyard. At time of writing, it's the most-liked comment on the post, with 50 replies pretty much all saying some variant of 'Hell yeah'.
For what it's worth, my gut feeling is some kind of New Vegas touchup is all-but-inevitable after the Oblivion remaster's success, but it'll have to wait in line behind that Fallout 3 remaster that's almost definitely on its way. When/if it does get here, Trejo better post a screenshot of his character, or I'm liable to kick off.
