Main Topic: The Narrative and/or the Dice

Which is more important: (1) what the dice determines or (2) what the story “needs”

Perspective:

Are the players the heroes in the story?
Are the dice sacrosanct?
Narrative control as in 13th Age and other games makes the game more about a group story. Does a changing party composition over its duration take the steam out of a campaign?
Is this a necessary result of Binary mechanics?
