Indeed. When something in a game, book, or movie that is essential to the story doesn't make sense, that is a literary device typically known as a plot hole. For example, it doesn't make much sense for Rey to be able to summon lightsabers to her hand with the force and defeat Jake Skywalker's most prodigious student in a lightsaber duel when she has had absolutely zero Jedi training. But it was essential to the story, so they went ahead and put it in.

This (among many other bad decisions in the Sequel Trilogy) was widely regarded by many Star Wars fans as a bad decision. Storytellers seeking to avoid similar schisms in their own audiences will make every attempt to avoid building their narratives around things that don't make sense.


There are possible logical explanations for Tav to be selected as leader, I had mentioned one - she/he just has the better parasite. Like an alpha parasite. or maybe its like the Nameless One Planescape: Torment - he attracts people like himself, who exist in opposition to their natures. All of us having the parasite draws us together, and we subconsciously select a leader.

Other ways to address it may occur to you, but Ragnarok makes a good point - for a cohesive story to form you require a central protagonist. Otherwise your single player game is a single character adventure. Now I think personally Multiplayer is the better and more fun way to play and it resolves the issue you discuss because you can't control what 3 other people do, and we have to have consensus on next steps...or not and everyone does their own thing, total chaos happens.

But for people who really only want to play single player the game is optimized for a party of 4.

But the real game is Multiplayer as I have always said - glad we are all on the same page on that one - haha :P
