Sorry if this has been pointed out already but it was a weird one to determine search terms for so I couldn't find anything on it.

Basically, whenever I load a game despite having the male character as the party leader and having saved it with him being targeted, it always switches to the female main character.

This is seriously annoying as it means constantly having to switch back and constantly forgetting to do so and then having the female character end up in conversations when I have the male character's Charm maxed so that he can be the party talking-head.

This has happened on numerous saves on different profiles and character combinations so it's not just a random bug.
