Too many to count.
Arcanum has several of the best holy shit moments.
For example, for the entire game your told your the reincarnation of a supremely powerful elf named nasrudin. The game builds you up as this religious messiah and then what happens later in the game? You find out that nasrudin is in fact still alive. Meaning the loonies had been harping on about you for nothing.
Another example is the evi villain. For the whole game your told its this specific person and when you finally meet him you find out he isn't even evil. Infact he had nothing to do with any of the evil goings on in the game at all.
Basically as a game it sets you up with the usual rpg cliches and then completely shatters them. Its a bloody awesome game.
