Despite their magnificent titles they are not the ones making the decisions, look back at some of the quests (though things could have changed) in times of trouble a group of adventurers usually receives some choices. They are still pawns and not the decision makers.
The "trouble" was caused by a preset script.
The choices were given by a NPC
The main good guy and the main bad guy are NPCs
The characters are ultimately fighting for the sake of "world peace" and have very limited self interests.
High level characters simply have more influence over which choice to take, but they do not make history. Like said in some of the posts in this thread, when on a quest they are often kept in the dark in their own area of specilization, as to not brake the flow of the quest.
