Stardew Valley mod brings pixelated Astarion romance soon

Last year's biggest game, Baldur's Gate 3, is set to cross paths with Stardew Valley later this year, courtesy of a modding project. The mod aims to bring beloved characters from Baldur's Gate 3, such as Astarion, Shadowheart, Gale, and Halsin, into the pixelated world of Stardew Valley. However, only Astarion and Halsin will be romanceable initially. The modding team, including XunHe1145, has hinted that the first part of the mod could be released as early as fall or winter of this year.

Mod enthusiasts can look forward to new stores, one of which will feature a restaurant managed by Rolan’s Projection. Although Rolan himself is not a marriable NPC, he will occasionally appear on the map. Those supporting the team’s Patreon will have the opportunity to vote on future marriageable characters after the first part of the mod is released. Additionally, the update mentions the addition of spouse rooms, patios, special furniture, and seasonal outfits for the NPCs.

The game continues the lineage of the celebrated Baldur's Gate series, offering players an expansive world filled with intricate quests and meaningful character interactions. Stardew Valley, on the other hand, is a beloved farming simulator created by ConcernedApe that has captured the hearts of players with its charm, depth, and community-driven gameplay. Combining these two fan-favorite titles into a single mod is sure to excite fans of both franchises.
