ZanithOneImao black desert is a (mostly) SFW MMORPG. And you know how MMOs are nowadays...
I did a bit of statistics about how much content we have now for each character (0.6.10), by extracting their lines from the script file (duplicated lines are removed).
Here is the ranking:
6 Blair: 73360 characters, 14253 words, 1352 lines.
5 Lyriel: 189170 characters, 37477 words, 4318 lines. (Shocking. I am not sure if I get it wrong here, but... I think she just has too many repeated lines...)
4 naomi: 258687 characters, 52861 words, 5943 lines. (Yes lyriel has fewer lines than naomi...)
3 Cait: 448791 characters, 89175 words, 7399 lines.
2 mainchar: 455395 characters, 89926 words, 12152 lines.
1 rae: 630564 characters, 118437 words, 10245 lines.
Mainchar has more lines than rae, but these lines are shorter. Mc don't have the flowery language of rae.
BUT THIS IS STILL NOT ENOUGH RAE!!!! Since rae is a bit like mc and participate in everyone else's story. Her own content, measured by picture file size, is less than lyriel (though in those pics rae probably talks more than lyriel).
Wait a minute, where is yona? Oh, yes. Yona does exists.
7 Yona: 34932 characters, 6912 words, 889 lines.
Here is the ranking:
6 Blair: 73360 characters, 14253 words, 1352 lines.

I wrote a python script a while ago that scans the game and makes a little chart showing the different characters. It's kind of interesting seeing how things balance between them, like how Rae has significantly less still images than Lyriel but significantly more videos.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
How is the images, etc, classified? I mean Rae is in basically everyone's images and scenes.
Also, Rae has the most important role to play in the main quest.

It counts things under the "girls" image folder, and counts each girl for things in her own folder, so any appearances of girls in another girl's scenes is not counted, just images etc. that are for that girl specifically. So it's not perfect, any scenes in the main "story" folder get ignored, though I think there are only one or two lewd scenes in there anyway. And it will likely have real problems when we finally start getting threesome scenes.
Can't remember if the first days scene with rae is listed in the main story. But anyway, this approach is having problems now, for example in many scene under lyriel's folder, rae probably talks (and acts) more than lyriel. In a way many of lyriel's content could be counted as rae's as well. (Especially in one particular dream of lyriels').

I acknowledge your existance my child.just want yall to know. i was here
This game is stagnant. Not sure what they're even doing anymore. Love the characters, but nothing interesting has been added in a long long time. Playing jenga and getting teased by Rae's boobies 300 days into a playthrough where her sex counter is at 105 is not compelling content to say the least.
This is just how this game is meant to be. They are trapped, they cannot get out, but they have everything they need inside the house, so they have nothing to do and nothing to worry about. They are not really doing anything at all.
It indeed doesn't make a very good story, but as a game it is also very relaxing. For me, it's alright with rae here. Alone, I would get bored, I think. But this probably really depends on people?
I think they meant there hasn't been any big content updates in awhile and instead we get minor things like 2 or 3 "lewd" scenes
I don't suppose there should be big content except for the ending...Especially since dev update at every month. There is just so much the small dev could do in one month. (Though you could say rae's story, the threads, are leading to something big?)

I feel like Rae was always the focus, and tbf I am not against it, she is my favourite character after all and I think the dev is getting a little burnt out.
Nope, far from it. There is simply not enough Rae in this game. She just participates in everyone else's stories like MC, but her own story is still tooooooo little, especially, we know nearly ZERO background of her. We don't even know if she has a family (some easily miss-able lines mentioned that she is from house Saleos), how is the government of succubi works (there seems to be some lady to be both the spiritual and temporal head.), what was she doing before coming in the house (there are few mentions here and there, but far from adequate. Also you could see from the orbs that it seems Lady Sirenia saved her from the point of spear, or maybe it was just a training session, but we don't know.). I mean even Yona has more background stories than Rae.
I'm not arguing for big content updates. I'm just saying that's what I think they meant. honestly I just want some more Blair content with actual lewd scenes involving something other than self pleasure
Updated already??? Great!
Now before anyone ask, save before the update:
Edit: it just occurs to me that it might be more convenient if I upload all the saves in one post and update.
To avoid the confusion about which save is for which version, I would zip them and rename the zipped achieve with the version number.
How to use: unzip to \GAMEPATH\game\saves and\or C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\AHouseintheRift-1545999373
If you have trouble unzipping the file, this is for you:
I will hopefully update this post regularly in the foreseeable future.
EDIT: Someone reports the file is not working, and while I check the compression is indeed wrong ... so I recompressed them to zip with store, meaning no compressing at all. Now even your windows explorer should be able to handle them.
EDIT2: The v0.7.11beta version might miss some contents that would be in the final release. Furthermore, the quest log does not fully work. I cannot guarateen everything has been finished in the save, but the main Cait quest seems to be done.
EDIT3: Updated with v0.7.11r1 version save. Compared with beta there is one more quest for Blair done
