The worst interface spoiler(s) in video game history? (hexbear.net)

Video games have the unfortunate and unique ability to show what lies ahead in the game by showing empty spaces in the inventory screen or menus, from which you can deduce what will happen and how long game lasts.

What is your worst example, what did games ruin for you even when you did not get spoiled by them cursed Youtube thumbnails?

For me, way back in '96, in Super Mario 64, when at the start of the game I first started playing around in outskirts of Peach's Castle and accidentally died

spoilerBowser's laughing zoom-in spoiled that he was the villain!

Sorry for the esoteric joke, please post your more earnest examples!

spoilerDon't all of her voice lines being gleefully murderous also give it away? Lol

spoilerngl 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.

spoilerFamous 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 lol
