I don't think anything mentioned here is really a cliché. The open nature of some wrpg's is an understandable thing to not like, but it's far from a cliché. Orcs is the closest suggestion, and I'm not sure about that, then anything from a fantasy mythos is cliché.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
