Gamers are in for a treat with the latest 1.6 update to the beloved farming simulation game, Stardew Valley. The update has brought a wave of excitement as players delve into the new content provided by the eight-year-old game. From non-player character (NPC) dialogue to major festivals, weather events, and winter clothing, there is plenty to keep players engaged.
But what has really caught the attention of fans is a new mod created by WhisperWillow that introduces Astarion, the fan-favorite “high-elf rogue” from Baldur’s Gate 3, into Stardew Valley as a romanceable NPC. This mod replaces Elliot, one of the twelve characters available for marriage in the game, with the sexy vampire Astarion. The mod includes new dialogue and gift preferences to reflect Astarion’s personality, making for an exciting addition to the game.
Fans have taken to social media to express their excitement and thirst for this new romanceable character in Stardew Valley. Screenshots and tweets showcasing Astarion’s presence in the game have been widely shared, with many players expressing their joy at being able to interact with the character in a new setting.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Players are also exploring other mods available for Stardew Valley, including inclusive pronoun options. While modding is currently only available on PC and Steam Deck, players have access to a wide selection of mods on platforms like Nexus Mods.
One particular mod that has gained attention is the inclusive pronoun options mod, which allows players to choose their preferred pronouns in the game. However, some players have raised concerns about why this feature is left to the modding community and not included in the official game update.
Atmos Fierce, a textile artist and content creator from Canada, launched a petition urging game designer Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) to add pronoun options to the 1.6 update. The petition has garnered over 7,300 signatures, sparking a discussion about representation in games and the importance of inclusivity.
While Eric Barone is currently focused on adding further updates and bug fixes to Stardew Valley, fans are hopeful that pronoun inclusion may still be on the horizon. With ongoing support from the community and a growing demand for inclusivity in gaming, there is potential for future updates to address these concerns.
Overall, the 1.6 update to Stardew Valley has brought a wave of excitement and new opportunities for players to engage with the game in fresh ways. From romanceable NPCs to inclusive mod options, there is plenty for gamers to explore and enjoy in this latest update.
