Why do companions who are sitting back at camp always react to things that I'm doing out in the world? It seems super weird that I can recruit someone, leave them at camp for the whole game and have basically no interactions with them, and somehow have high approval with them. It feels like if you want to build rapport with some, you should have to put in the work and, you know, actually spend time with them.

I get that word of your deeds might get told around the fire back at camp sometimes, but I don't think that should have nearly the same impact as witnessing it firsthand does. Does anyone else find this weird?
