We will forever - FOREVER - have to live with tropes and archetypes, yes.
Obviously, but seeing characters with similar tropes and archetypes in the next game that a developer makes is weird.
And thats what I don't see here - even the characters which are MOST similar to anything even remotely resembling "counterparts" in D:OS2 are very different from them.

I'm not sure about that.
We have seen, at most, like (my best guess) 20% of the full game. With all the permutations and suprises yet to come I'd even say that this is quite a high estimation.
I don't think that we have seen more than 20% about our companions, yet.
