Amusingly (and I am loving WotR, it's so far exactly what I would expect from a continued evolution from BG2) this isn't the first, or only subverted expectation.

The ranking leader is a female dragon.
Your first 3 characters encountered.

Female Paladin - Black/PoC
Female - Pictured as tough, capable.
Female - Mutilated that guy, we all know it.

Then you get to the Hipster, couldn't get rid of him quick enough, followed by another Female character...

OK.

The we get out of the Dungeon and first thing we see?

Big.
Golden.
Green.
Anime Style Avatar.
Female.
Paladin.

I knew it the second I saw that picture. 'Yep, lesbians.' When they threw that out there so unnecessary, I laughed and laughed.

Then we get.

Female, child like innocence...oh wait, no. She's been burned alive, living on the streets. OK.

Tiefling Rogue? Yep our first stereotyped character.

Oracle? He's gay, or at least bisexual. He won't stop coming onto me...

Even our Hellknight is a subversion. Gnome?! Full Plate? Come on.

Cleric? PoC, fragile artist. OK.

Oh, and I wouldn't be shocked to learn something is unique about that Scroll Savant.

Yeah, I don't think we can make claims that Wrath isn't doing a whole lot of subversion as well.
