The cool mod which brings a little bit of Baldur’s Gate 3 to Stardew Valley has now been launched, so you will discover out precisely how annoying it would be to try to develop turnips with a sassy vampire, fairly than doing the plain factor having him show you how to slap up a large mind. The excellent news would not finish there, both, because the Baldur’s Village group has now moved on to engaged on letting you romance Halsin.
For those who’re out of the loop, this fan undertaking for Stardew was first revealed in April final yr, and its lead developer XunHe1145 has been offering common progress updates since that time.
Now, they and their group have launched the preliminary model of the mod, ‘Baldur’s Village’, for people to play. Once you hearth it up, you can head to the titular city and meet over 20 new characters from BG3, in addition to discovering loads of different attention-grabbing stuff.
“A brand new village has lately been constructed north of Pelican City, and its new residents appear… fairly uncommon,” reads the outline, “You will discover the doorway to Baldur’s Village on the prime of the southern mountain map, proper subsequent to Linus’ tent.”
Among the many people you can meet is Astarion, who’s the one character boasting a full romance arc at this level, with it being made up of eight totally different occasions that I am positive solely contain like 57 totally different situations of him saying one thing sarky and also you giving him a pixellated look that claims ‘Omg, here is my neck, pls chomp on me Twinkstarion’.
Once you want a break from giving a pointy-teethed lad the center eyes, you possibly can chat to the likes of Shadowheart, Karlach and Wyll, or chill within the tavern as Alfira shreds Van Halen solos on her lute (okay, perhaps she’ll simply be taking part in regular lute stuff, however that’d be cool).
That is about it for now, however the group’s not finished, assuming this model of the mod proves widespread sufficient. “Our subsequent focus shall be creating Halsin’s romance storyline,” they write, “As soon as accomplished, we are going to shift our consideration to increasing the mod’s world-building, background tales, and gameplay by introducing new options and objects.” Will that imply full-on pixelated bear intercourse? We’ll simply should see.
Both method, Larian’s Swen Vincke is fairly impressed that this undertaking’s made it over the discharge end line, having tweeted “A lot love went into this – superb work!” as a congratulations to XunHe1145 and co.
