[Spoilers] Casey creeps me out

[blue em]

Is it possible to progress with the story and unlock all the upgrades/new stuff without getting the ending scene? Or, preferably, without getting mail from Casey at all?
Since we never get to sea Bea's replies, we're forced to fill in the blanks, and from my perspective Bea seems happy where she is, and Casey seems to be unable to respect boundaries. She's the ex that's not willing to move on, she tries to get Bea back using any method she can - and I'm so happy that Bea is as far away from her as possible.
And as for the ending - I think Bea ends up going to the concert? Possibly even getting back together with Casey? I would never do that, I just want that creepy lady to back off :(

Much on topic, such interesting point of view. 10/10

not possible, you can just ignore them but caseys letter are set up to certain triggers that you get by advancing through the game. could look at making a mod for it i guess but that has a few complications written all over it

i kind of felt like the whole point of the Casey/Bea plotline was to show that they were two people who really did love each other, but they ultimately couldn't be happy together because Bea felt the calling of the far far range and Casey's calling was music. I don't think she's trying to get Bea back, she's just reminiscing with her, telling her shes happy where she is and she knows Bea is happy up in the stars. Bea and Casey are still friends, that's why she goes to see the concert, so support the girl she loved in following her dreams. I don't think she gets back with Casey, it wouldn't work, they'd never be happy together because one of them would have to give up their dream. its a mutual breakup, a kind of bittersweet love story

Too bad it's not optional, oh well. Thanks for responding.

I would love to either see Bea's responses to those letters to get the full picture, or have the choice what to do with this relationship. And since the game doesn't directly show me what Bea as the caracter thinks/feels about the situation, I'm choosing to nope out of this drama. Casey had her chance, she chose her dreams over the reationship so she shouldn't get all overly nostalgic about the time they were together. She needs to back off a bit.
...or maybe Casey just wants some of that sweet, precious plorts Bea is practically swimming in now? (just kidding)
Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Never thought about it like that, interesting point of view.

you paid attention to those letters?

I like the Casey's letters. It's Shakespear in space, Romeo and Juliet across the stars. Not the happily ever after everyone expects, but then, love is not a guarantee of happiness and rainbows.

I wish we did see more of Bea as a person since they are making it very known that we aren't just some 'fill in the blank' newbie rancher.

Someone above in this thread mentioned the whole thing of them seeing it as a bittersweet mutual breakup so they could both follow their dreams yet still stay in contact as good friends. They still want to see each other succeed in life and yet care about each other enough to give enough space instead of trying to control how they think things should go.

Seemed sweet enough ( and I would think a bit painful for them to remember ) how they met and stayed together before realizing it wasn't meant to be. So instead of giving up on dreams they wanted to make reality just to stay together, they split up because neither of them would be happy unable to actually go for that one thing they really wanted.

Casey would be dead by the time Beatrix got to the far far range because of time dilation so we can stop arguing about this now. Those letters were probably sent before Beatrix even arrived at her destination, same with the concert being held. Beatrix is just now recieving these messages because only now are they finally arriving on the far far range after several years of being just a wee signal flying through space at light speed.
