I want to see a game with no heroes, if the definition of "hero" is: entity who serves the light side of the force and saves the day. That is just a bit too cliche, and so are big muscular characters. Sure, no one expects a Bill Gates-like dude to kick down some doors and fire the BFG 9000 into a bunch of aliens, but Hellboy, Hulk, Wolverine, etc are just over the top.

I think a good example of a "good" character who doesn't have arms the size of a battleship's 16-inch guns is the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Pretty average looking guy, kicking Arnie's butt during most of the movie.

As for "dumb bimbo" characters, lol! They have got to be the funniest thing in video games. Why anyone uses such characters is beyond me. Personally, I find Alyx from HL2 to be way more sexy than some half-naked chick who locked herself in a tower that needs saving.

Depth, people depth!
