Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is pretty bad about this.

Nenio is a kitsune that forgot she was a kitsune and thinks she is a human at the start. Her character still lists her as a kitsune when you mouse over her attribute bonuses.Camellia is evil. Evil evil. A serial killer. When you meet her, you can't see her alignment because she has an amulet that hides her alignment. Like, this is already a pretty obvious trope, but also the game has items that are locked to alignment, and if you try to equip her with something that evil people can't, it won't allow it and will tell you why.

Don't all of her voice lines being gleefully murderous also give it away? Lolspoiler
ngl I was fairly certain she was evil after the first conversation with her and absolutely certain she was chaotic evil when I noticed the amulet that hides her alignment. If anything, "hiding" it only makes it more obvious.spoiler
Famous sicko-elf enjoyer (and Delicious in Dungeon author) Ryoki Kui clocked her on first sight, so I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be super obvious. I do like that her quest has options for being totally oblivious lolThe first X-Wing game had something like this where one mission was described as a routine patrol on the briefing screen. Already pretty sus, but you can mouse over the mission map and see that TIE fighters are set to spawn in.
Tie Fighter also does this with a "routine cargo inspection". They're both dogfighting games, though, so of course shit goes down and you get to blast some ships!
