Baldur’s Gate III is a role-playing game with some romance elements. Stardew Valley is a role-playing game with some romance elements, and a lot of root vegetables. Why not stick ’em together in a peanut-butter-and-chocolate combination, for those who want to date a half-elf while they’re watering cabbages? That’s the idea behind a new mod for Stardew.
A team of three modders is putting a new map in Stardew Valley inspired by last year’s D&D smash hit. And yes, getting all those eye-catching companions into the farming sim as romanceable characters is a priority. So far the team for “Baldur’s Village” is working on getting problematic fave Shadowheart, smooth-talking Gale, bear-in-more-ways-than-one Halsin, and everyone’s favorite vampiric fop Astarion in there, though only the latter has a unique romance plot at the moment.
According to a post on Twitter spotted by Rock Paper Shotgun, the small team hopes to have its first release of the content ready to play by the anniversary of Baldur’s Gate III‘s public release, which would be in August. Hopefully by that time they’ll have best barbarian girl Karlach in there — imagine dating somebody who can go into a rage, then plow the back forty without a tractor.
