This week, Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios and Dungeons and Dragons creator Wizards of the Coast launched a new saga involving BG3’s beloved band of flirty murderers. No, it’s not another Baldur’s Gate game; it’s the strange tale of a Stardew Valley mod that was approved by Larian before getting banned by Wizards then having its name cleared in the span of 24 hours.
Back in March, a mod called Baldur’s Village hit NexusMods, which added an entirely new explorable town to Stardew Valley, containing the main party and more characters from Baldur’s Gate 3. Work on Baldur’s Village is still far from finished, but it’s already a well-made mod that got plenty of attention, including from us here at Inverse. It’s so good, in fact, that even Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke responded, calling it “amazing work” on social media.
