[Black Desert Online] The Story of the Black Desert

[@LemnzestManatee]

This was really interesting and informative! Please make a spoiler version of the BDO storyline thus far! I'm finding it rather tedious to try to keep up with what the story is doing. You present it in a much more interesting way!

[@Britonmarie]

But I wanna know who that witch lady who was staring intently at the dwarf blacksmith is called! DX

[@HatterTheMadd]

Holy crap. This was an amazing video. Equal parts entertaining and informative! More would be very much appreciated!

[@Noobnuker1]

make more vids like this please.

[@Phat_man]

Please more lore videos more more it would be my pleasure to binge watch them all to know all the lores

[@coreyadler]

Great video, its cool learing the lore, and would love more!

[@Isaberry1602]

I've been watching all your BDO videos but now, when you make Lore videos... I used to love GW2 lore videos made by WoodenPotatoes and Warcraft lore made by Nobbel87. Now, you got my gaze on you :3 Plz bring more of this awesome stuff :D

Please do more videos about the lore of this game. It's so interesting, but also so hidden. You did a great job explaining everything while also making it kinda funny with the way you worded everything with the text on the screen. Great job Hakurai!

[@victim130]

I'd love to have more lore stuff, this was a great watch.

[@symphonycasterpet]

I have never managed to watch a video over 3 minutes for any lore until this. It is both entertaining and educational and I look forward to more of them!

[@anthonygutierrez9898]

There’s no greater feeling than finding the exact type of video you were looking for. Thanks man

[@jimmyvbuck1868]

YES! I love lore stuff.

So Valencia : The American Continent (Unexploited resources and called the new world) Calpheon : United Kingdom (The most advanced country that set for the new world) Heidel : Germany (Always thinking about war) Balenos : France (Surrendering peacefully) Mediah : Switzerland (Escaping all war because of its economical tricks despite being in the middle of it) [Feel free to correct me guys]

[@matthewmcdanel4106]

The lore is a bit tough to follow in game- I enjoy your presentation and don't really care to try to get in to the story via the in game mediums. Would you mind doing a version containing spoilers- maybe just mark it as such?

[@leverloos]

Loved it. I knew there was a bunch of lore, but didn't know it was actually a little interesting :P.

[@VivekMChawla]

OMG...Thank you for making this! I loved it! 😀 I wanted to learn more about the lore of Black Desert ahead of the launch of BDM, and your video was exactly what I was looking for! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@devilkyn1]

Brilliant. Love the captions, love the dramatic reenactments, Bang up job. Looking forward to more!

[@ImUhhCaptain]

Great video, I'd like to see a vid about the backstory of us, the adventurers.

[@BigChungo420]

OMG YES MAKE MORE OF THESE

[@ffsake1361]

Id love to hear more about the lore. Especially the black spirit (even if it is a bit spoilerish =3)

[@JuukBawx]

Great work on this, I dont know where you found all this lore, but keep it coming Hakurai!

[@Seekab00]

Awesome. So basically I watched the video and still don't understand any of it. EDIT: Two years later I am older and wiser. I have returned to watch this video and now I understand. I thank you sir Hakurai. You are my hero and I love you.

[@aphexinc]

this was great spent alota time reading and gettin knowledge but having it all in neat order like this really help set the pace man great work as usual

[@jonlan7173]

So well done felt like I was watching an actual history lesson ! Tight work keep it up !

[@XerroHero]

I would really like to hear more. This is my second time listening to the story because you did a very good job of telling it

[@EvionFox]

THANK YOU so much for putting this together! This really helped clear up a lot of confusion for me about what the hey was going on. I do hope you make more like these! Definitely gonna go check your channel.

[@Dert124454]

More like this. I never pay attention to the stories in these games, so the summaries are great.

[@goofistmcnutty3280]

Yes! More! Please! I've had such a hard time keeping up with the lore of this game and this cleared out so much XD

[@blackmushi26]

Please, please, please make more vids of this nature. Black Desert is so distracting that you often lose focus of stories etc when you are out questing, so i'd love to see more of this stuff - Jordine seems an interesting character. I loved how you animated the lore to suit your audience.

[@Felana1988]

Fantastic video man. This really helped bolster my background knowledge of exactly what went on that lead to the current story!

[@AthenaAGT]

That horse you drew is goals.

[@shagath]

Awesome timing as well for this. Was a good thing to watch while waiting on maintenance. :)

[@zeehero7280]

This is like Oversimplified for fictional history, I love it.

[@RoryBourdon]

This was really interesting, the story is actually good! I wish this had been in an intro cinematic. Please make more!

[@bradymengel2473]

MOOOOAAAARRRRR. seriously more lore please, especially concerning the black spirit and stones.

[@Treached]

Dude, i love your videos, and i watch them all, but this one was by far the best yet!

[@hacked39]

Loved it! I was already interested in the lore and you gave great info while making it hilarious. Would love to see more

[@MrKauii]

Wow, this was even more awesome than I expected. Another superb video. Can't wait for the next one.

[@Xexanos]

great video! had no idea about the backstory. where did you find all this? is it in the knowledge entries?

[@MrWill1103]

Thank you so much , been searching for the story for long time!

[@billsmallwood3267]

That was the most interesting and engaging backstory I've heard in a while, because I'm too lazy to read and piece it all together myself. Great video and I really enjoy your content, I'll be around for the next one, if any :) You're doing us all a great service

[@tagger_]

Followed it, with a bit of a giggle here and there - but 9:55 really got me.. Did not expect that :D

[@g3n086]

Both amusing and informative. Would definitely like to see more

[@Reav00]

ahh man that was an EXCELLENT vid, im 51 on bdo and i had a rough idea of the story but this puts it all in place. I hope you do more vids like this in tune with the content we have. Great job. boop

[@Myndness]

great job in sculpting it all up in great animations and everything =D

[@mikeybot3]

The story in this game is really good, so many people think it doesn't have any... I've been following it as I play, admitted story nerd! Great video, sheds some light for those who need it!

[@JAM0LO]

Yay! Lore videos. More please this was awesome!

[@nullnull7220]

Please do more. This was very helpful!

[@ArrowsFlight]

Thank you for this, very well made! You have no idea how I much I enjoyed it.

[@nekonochesire6023]

OKay, I just totally loved this video, as I am a huge fan of background story in MMO. Would love to see more. :) The thing is, in BDO lore, it is hard to really get into it in-game because as the player, we can't really understand our characters, their goal and motivations, beside please our cute(?) little budies black spirit, who mostly only tell us to kill almost everything. Right now I just have some quests to go for the last awakening, and the only thing I did was helping people by killing savage people, and I would go as far as to say that we're subtly guided by our buddies(?) to awaken him (can't see any other reason behind it). And aside from that we have almost no clues at all about those black spirits, what they could want, and what I don't get is that in this whole BG video not at any moment they did make an "appearance" or influenced anything while it seems there are lots of people who know a lot about them (such as Edan or the alchemist in Veila). So if there is any way for you to do any sort of full spoiler video for our loved character, myself and lots of people will be delighted. (also I could make shut up some of my friends who because he don't find the story interesting, only play to grind while ignoring everything else XD )

[@fadeaway3716]

BDO seems to have tons of lore thats built into the world but the in-game story doesn't seem to tell us much about it.

[@Stuartbuskell]

More more more! That was great! Love your annotations and drawings too. Very funny :)

[@MerryGamer]

Holy shit, this video was way more informative than I thought it would be. Props for making it, I really enjoyed it! I would love to see more :D

[@danhealy79]

OK, yeah, this was super funny AND informative!

[@SherpaNoland]

I don't go crazy for lore, as it is usually presented in a boring way. You on the other hand managed to keep my interest for the whole video, and now I'm really eager to know the lore after the events that you have told. Please make more videos like this, and keep a similar style as it worked very well.

[@n1ghtyunso]

there needs to be way more attention to the lore of black desert. most people will never really read all the knowledge stuff ingame so this video is awesome. i would love to see more lore explained vids from you :D great job!

[@atompanax7277]

real good story telling and i LOVE your pictures and their dialogue to help explain the story. keep it up!!!

[@YosuetCordero]

I was looking for a video like this one, great job!

[@GoldibelleTTV]

Oh wow! This was great! I had been feeling a bit in the dark while playing. This video help me understand the dynamics much better! Thank you so much! ^_^

[@Reahzz]

I absolutely loved this video. I like playing the games without wasting time with the story. The TLDR version was really nice and I would love to watch more vids on lore!

[@fadeaway3716]

Yes, absolutely. I'd love more lore videos.

[@SevereArtisan]

Totally loved this video :D. My only question is whether you plan to do a video for the in-game story (Our story with Edan and the others).

[@Enamoursa]

This was so cute!! thank you for this video i had no idea how much story there was to this game

[@danteafkCamelotUnchained]

10/10 paint skills, loved it.

[@HitomiOokami]

Omg this was awesome thank you so much, please I'd love to hear more of the world and lore. I've been pretty much been knowlage hunting in game the past few days lol.

[@Niwiskip]

This really puts everything into perspective.

[@DevTHero]

You the man Hakurai. You the name we already know, Hakurai wheres your next guide video?

[@ec5400]

Ayy awesome video! loved it :D Media should've been strong though right? since they had a huge amount of blackstone and kept getting more, i assume they knew something good about them eh?

[@orionxavier6957]

*strangers appearing in Olvia, not Velia. The other big part of the story is in the intro cutscene. Where the black spirit consumes all the people at Goma Naru. There were a lot of mercenaries at Goma Naru, and that's who we are (the classes of BDO). Seems kind of obvious when I explain it but a lot of people don't make that connection.

[@tampel]

really like that you made a video about the lore. But the best perfomance is your great artwork who show us the history very deep and pictured.my fav is 3:32 where you illustrated the meeting with the pope.its just fantasic how you solve to depict the landscape,the atmosphere and the slang of Keplan Citiziens "Elion sux gtfo nub".thx for that!

[@neogen20]

Sudden increase of strangers appearing. *clears throat and whispers* that's us, thats us appearing. Lol. Great video, now I'm up to speed with this game. I've been playing with only a small idea of knowing what was going on.

[@chamros]

Awesome vid! Are you planning on making another one for lore within the playable game? (i.e. with spoilers) I started the game out with reading all the quests, but there was just so much I started skipping through a lot of the text :c

[@alexbjorkis6358]

Awesome video, but more importantly... AESOME illustrations :D and yes i'd like to se more.

[@GaryRenwick]

Thanks! That cleared up a lot! You should keep doing these videos.

[@vonmeier]

I really liked it too, so informative and interestingly spoken.

[@BrokeMyCrayon]

Awesome video, but plague is pronounced play-Guh, not necessarily a GUH sound but a hard G at the end of play.

[@Domeran]

+Broke My Crayon i got made fun of for this back in WoW when i was raid leading naxx and kept telling them to do the plague wing :(

[@BrokeMyCrayon]

Lol, it's no biggie. Thanks again for taking the time to make this informative video.

+Hakurai See I just thought it was a play on the bad translation sometimes in the game. >.>

[@TheLilPorkChop]

[@rubyrubi1165]

+Hakurai Hey, can you please make a video on accesories enchantment such as the chances and how to enchant them effieciently please? I have seen your guide on normal gear enchantment and it's really good, but I was hoping for an accesory video if it's possible with a picture of the enchantment chances. I hope you read this.

[@kkuchev]

Great lore video! Amazing for people who skip through the story, either because they rush or because of the way it is presented. This video puts much needed context for the start of the game and why the world exists as it is (not even going to mention the in game 'intro') and I feel like it will help when trying to hook new players to BDO. No one likes to play an open world game without a soul or context. Have you looked at Nobbel87 for inspiration? In depth lore for the different major/minor races would be amazing. How important/intelligent they are, what role they play. Also a video about the main characters would be lovely - the alchemist and the secret society. Inter town relationships can be fun too like the story the guys tell in the Velia inn. Marni's lab and the petrifying disease in Keplan are also interesting. Lore about the main farm spots (how Calpheon is trying to integrate the Catfish, Al rhundi's rebels which you covered, or the scarlet monastery, neutral zone orcs)

[@Jackalope904]

I had those lyrics "Rocked you like a hurricane!" stuck in my head from 5:36 till the end. I loved the MS-Paint art style. It actually made some things easier to understand than the usual fantasy desktop wallpaper pictures. Great vid! Will there be more videos on your channel like this in the future?

[@_Just_John]

This was awesome. I am looking forward for more lore-oriented videos. And the background jokes are hilarious. :D

[@DakartsAgony]

Really enjoyed the form of presentation!

[@RockOfFire6]

YES! This was awesome! probably going to watch this more to understand what I missed. I would enjoy more lore vids!!! :D

[@ThanosStamatopoulos]

That was a great video about BDO lore especially for "lore-slackers" as myself :D Can't wait till you make the part 2! Keep it up master pooper!

[@Kunsa]

awsome video mate. so hard to work this stuff out in game due to bad localization. i would be keen to see more lore related stuff. keep up the good work 😆

You would have made an awesome History teacher. It's just so much more interesting this way.

[@maverick62990]

[@AZodiacCancer]

The annotations/subs were hilarious. But I'd like more lore on BDO. More so as to the purpose of the black spirit. Good job on the video it was informative and funny.

Great video dude, you know how to captivate yours viewers !! Keep going I'm not gonna miss your next videos!!

[@arnoldlee8070]

Nicely done. Like many other things about BDO you can't just skim the surface. Basically anyone who did a shallow, superficial review on BDO or made comments like there is no End Game, no story, nothing to do...proved their limitation when it comes to comprehension of more complex gaming systems. Keep up the good work, Hakurai! Boop!
