Yeah. It also breaks atmosphere and immersion. Your asked to go out and help but when you get back Dutch says the exact same sentences.
I think they could of made the camp a central part of the gameplay and not a glorified mission hub. I'm not sure how would do it but if the camp is so key to the survival of the posse, use that as main gameplay driver. Maybe a quest line to get a gunsmith so you can modified your weapons. Bringing in meat increases your health core faster...or stamina. Use card games/dominos to help with dead eye. Have more meaningful updates that affect your character in different ways.
But this is also an issue with other activities. It would been awesome if there were numerous poker tournaments you can take part in with bigger stakes...or at least have a high stakes poker table instead of the 5 dollar one. Or a mechanic where you can set up a poker game!
Such a wasted opportunity to add to these activities some gameplay mechanics/events.
