Why don't modern RPGs have crazy/unique characters that you can party up with any more?

You're asking why an industry devoid of talent doesn't express more talent. Also, I choose SlipknotxX666Xx

It's not like every game developer from the mid 2000nds and before died user. There are still a few out there who should be able to make something.

The fact they haven't indicates there aren't.

Alfred. I choose Alfred.

Always take the dog NPC.

You'd be lucky if a modern RPG even had party members, let alone good ones. It's all just "Joss Wheden character archetype" or if you're lucky a Dr. Who fanwank character with a different coat of paint rewritten to fit in the game's universe.

Why aren't any RPGs actually good?
