Huh, so here we have the creator of Stardew Valley, ConcernedApe — I swear, this guy’s like a wizard or something — thinking the BG3-inspired mod is pretty neat. But here’s the kicker: he hasn’t actually played it. Why? He doesn’t really dive into mods. Maybe it’s like cooking your own meal and then watching someone else put ketchup all over it? No clue.
This mod, “Baldur’s Village,” is apparently a wild ride. It got yanked off somewhere down the line — classic mix-up by Wizards of the Coast, it seems, I mean, really? Anyway, it’s back now, and people are all over it like bees on honey. But not our dear ConcernedApe. He’s just kind of chillin’, reading about it, never getting his hands dirty.
Mods in Stardew Valley are like sprinkles on a cupcake, right? They turn something already sweet into a whole new sugar rush. People are constantly hunting for these little tweaks and new adventures, like it’s some digital treasure hunt. Dressing up your characters, tweaking gameplay quirks, exploring new spots — it’s like an endless playground for the creative souls out there. And voila! In pops “Baldur’s Village,” ready to mash up the whimsy of Stardew with the epic tales of BG3. Intriguing combo, if you ask me.
Now, backtrack a second — or was I moving forward? Doesn’t matter. So, after this whole debacle, ConcernedApe chats with PC Gamer, admits he’s seen a couple of screenshots. Thinks it looks cool, but isn’t diving into the pool just yet. His reasoning? Mods aren’t really his thing even though he’s opened the floodgates for modders with the game’s update 1.6. Can someone say irony?
Doesn’t mean he doesn’t value what these modding magicians do. It’s clear he’s all for letting players have the reins. And with this update, maybe they can craft wonders beyond his imagination. Who knows, right?
Baldur’s Village, though, what a world. It’s like a magical fusion, pulling in characters like Astarion and Shadowheart, tossing them into the Stardew universe with 20 new folks to meet. Plus, six new regions — it’s practically a mini-expansion! You get shops, special items — the whole shebang. And this storyline for Astarion, sounds like something to write home about. I gotta admit, that nexus of creativity is kind of a thrill ride, drawing you into its embrace.
Download it if you’re curious — or just curious about curious things, maybe you’ll stumble into something weird and wonderful. And all because ConcernedApe opened a door without walking through it himself. Funny how life does that.
