That's partially because that was the last story patch before 0.12. Everyone wanted more h-scenes and the devs wanted to make new assets (groping, human town, minotaur, tentacle monster), so it was decided that the story would get pushed into the background for the next 3 patches and in exchange we would get a lot of sexy interactions, groping and a bit more things to do around the camp in general.
The problem is that nobody expected this to take almost 2 years, i asume that everyone thought that 3 updates would take a year at most and by now we would be on the 4th consecutive story focused patch at 0.15.
Even now with 0.12 released the new story we got is barely more than "jasmine is a thing, she works with Sabia's family and they have a plan".
And i enjoyed this filler content. The scenes in Sabia's tent have been great, a lot of interactions were fun in my opinion and the groping+repeatable art could be used in some very cool ways (i'm gathering my thoughts for a post about that).
But as i wrote in my last post too, currently the story has a lot of hanging threads and we have no timeframes or milestones to work with.
"For now Sabia has to wait and see what happens next" in the human towns with Jasmine's group, in the orc camp with the captains, in the tents with Bris (on sub route), still in the camp with the shaman, in the bandit camp with Kira and outside of the orc camp with her own raiding party.
Things that are outside of her control obviously should happen, but if everything is on a "wait and see" cliffhanger, then Sabia is a passive obvserver in her own story.
Personally i would much prefer having Sabia narrate her plan to us or one of her friends and then wait for the next patch to see if it works out or something goes wrong instead of the current method. Just 4-5 extra sentences at the end of each patch could give us the feeling that Sabia is actively working towards her goals instead of waiting to be pushed in accidentally the right direction.
