Astarion Fans Get a New Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod With Fresh Endings and Bosses

Astarion fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 just got a fresh reason to revisit the game: a new fan-made campaign mod is now available on PC, promising a full extra stretch of playtime, new endings, and boss fights designed to feel more “encounter-like” than typical side content.

What the mod actually adds to Baldur’s Gate 3

The project, titled A Dream of Silence: ReVamped, is a fan campaign built by community creator lizardphunk. It adapts a browser-based text game originally written by Abigail Corfman, translating the premise into a structured multi-act experience for Baldur’s Gate 3 players.

In terms of scope, the mod’s headline promise is “about 6 additional hours” of content. It’s organized into 3 acts, taking players to a version of Cazador’s palace framed as nightmare territory. The core story revolves around trying to rescue the elf from captivity, with the campaign’s pacing shifting as you progress.

Beyond the main plot, the mod is positioned as a content package rather than a single quest:

  • 4 different endings
  • 6 companions
  • unique weapons
  • dynamic boss fights

Why the structure matters: dialogue first, combat later

One of the more player-relevant design choices is how the campaign builds its gameplay rhythm. The mod’s first act focuses on dialogue-heavy progression, while later acts introduce more direct opportunities for combat. That shift can help players who want a break from the usual “immediate encounter” flow: instead of forcing every moment into fights, the campaign leads with conversation and scenario setup before turning up the pressure.

The creator also emphasizes a practical tip for anyone jumping in: save often. The note is tied to the difficulty of certain challenges, meaning trial-and-error may be necessary depending on how you approach encounters and character builds.

Availability, platform limits, and storage needs

A Dream of Silence: ReVamped can be downloaded for free via Nexus Mods, with installation instructions and details provided there. The mod is PC-only; the author notes it “should” work on Mac but has not tested it, so expectations should be managed if you’re on Apple hardware.

On disk, the campaign requires 1.3 GB of free space, so players with tight storage should plan ahead before installing.

From fan campaign to official story: Astarion’s next chapter

This fan release lands alongside a larger Astarion-focused publishing move. An official novel titled Baldur’s Gate 3: Astarion by T. Kingfisher is scheduled to debut on September 29. The book’s premise is centered on the character’s earlier life—an expansion of his backstory beyond what players experience in the game’s main timeline.

For context, Baldur’s Gate 3 originally released on August 3, 2023 for PC, and then arrived on consoles later, including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Key takeaway for players

  • If you want new campaign content and multiple outcomes, this mod explicitly includes four endings plus boss-focused combat.
  • The campaign’s pacing starts with dialogue and transitions into more fights, so it’s tailored for players who enjoy both narrative and encounter gameplay.
  • It’s currently a PC-only download with a modest 1.3 GB footprint, and saving frequently is strongly recommended due to tougher segments.
