How is that you can’t see these two problems are closely related? Well in fact it’s the same problem: MC is strictly nobody hence doesn’t have any ground to claim leadership.
On the other hand we had the BGs 1 & 2 MC who had ALL the background to be a leader.
It is clearly related, sure, but like I proved with bg1, great MC backstory and character doesn't necessarily solve the problem.
