Feasting with the Count: A Baldur’s Gate 3 Mini-Campaign

Embark on a Unique Baldur’s Gate 3 Adventure with “Dinner With Strahd – A Curse of Strahd Story Mod”

Delve into a captivating custom campaign mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 that adds a refreshing twist to your RPG experience. This intriguing mod takes you on a short story journey that diverges from the main storyline, inviting you to a dinner party at the lavish residence of Count Strahd von Zarovich, an enigmatic and talented illusionist known for his organ-playing skills.

Count Strahd, a figure familiar to Dungeons and Dragons enthusiasts, extends an invitation to Tav and their companions to his home in Barovia. The purpose? To engage in a casual chat about the mysterious brain tadpoles over tea and snacks.

Within this unique adventure, players can explore the intricate halls of Castle Ravenloft, encountering over 600 lines of fully voiced and animated dialogue crafted by the modder, Ocelot. Engage in battles, uncover valuable loot, and even have the opportunity to confront Strahd in a face-to-face encounter. For those intrigued by a more intimate interaction, Ocelot teases a special surprise for those who harbor romantic feelings towards Strahd.

It’s evident that the allure of Strahd has captivated the BG3 modding community, with this particular mod standing apart from Project Strahd, another ambitious custom campaign gaining attention in the RPG realm.

To embark on this enchanting journey, Ocelot recommends installing the “Dinner With Strahd” mod using LaughingLeader’s Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Manager. The quest kicks off when you encounter a woman near a cart and ox in Rivington, the initial region en route to Baldur’s Gate in the game’s third act. For convenience, the mod includes a tiefling bard save at the start of the act, allowing players to jump straight into the mod’s narrative.

Looking ahead, Ocelot has ambitious plans to enhance the mod further by introducing new characters, expanding Castle Ravenloft with additional rooms, and giving its vampires a more menacing presence with proper fangs.
