A group of modders are building ‘Baldur’s Village’ in Stardew Valley, an idyllic little town where you can date Astarion and maybe hang out with some of those other guys

A Baldur’s Gate 3 fan artist with the handle XunHe1145 has revealed a planned Stardew Valley – Baldur’s Gate 3 crossover mod to be made in collaboration with other artists. Baldur’s Village will feature Stardew versions of some of BG3’s companions in a new little town, complete with custom art and dialogue.

Off the jump, the pixel art portraits of Shadowheart and Astarion on display are real winners⁠—my Stardew-loving other half informs me that a lot of custom portrait work for the game doesn’t quite capture the charm of Eric Barone’s original NPCs, but she really loved these interpretations of BG3’s companions. They’re a bit more realistic than the base Stardew characters, but still really capture the spirit: you could almost mistake these guys for an official crossover.
