The modding community continues to expand the world of Baldur's Gate 3 with "A Dream of Silence ReVamped," a six-hour mini-campaign focused on the character Astarion. Developed by Abigail Corfman and packaged by modder lizardphunk, the mod brings to life a text-based game of the same name.
The campaign is structured into three acts, with the final act recently released to consolidate the entire story. The narrative unfolds within Astarion's mind, where the player character must navigate a twisted version of Cazador's dungeon under the influence of a Bastellus, a creature that feeds on dream energy. This dreamscape setting allows for a unique exploration of Astarion's psyche.
"A Dream of Silence ReVamped" features four distinct endings and introduces six new companions. The gameplay structure varies across the acts; the first act is primarily dialogue-driven, while the second act incorporates new mechanics and combat alongside dialogue options. The specifics of the third act's gameplay shifts are not detailed by the creator.
The modder's stated goal for "ReVamped" was to demonstrate the capabilities of Baldur's Gate 3's modding tools, with the hope of inspiring further custom campaign development for the game. The mod is available for download on Nexus Mods.
This mod represents one of the more significant fan-made additions to Baldur's Gate 3, especially as official expansions from Larian Studios are not planned. Hasbro, the owner of the Baldur's Gate license, is reportedly seeking a studio to develop Baldur's Gate 4, though Larian Studios is currently focused on its Divinity series.
