Demon’s Souls, 2009. Tales of series had at least three entries before that with lore on items found in game that I know of. I would bet the others out of the 8 released between the first one I played and 2009 also had something similar. And that’s just one series. You mentioned baldur’s gate 2, which did it, and don’t forget to add its spiritual ancestor of icewind dale along with the original.
I’m sure if you went and looked through a great many games, since there are more than any person can realistically experience/play, there were hordes of them that had world lore from items. None of them that I remember were ‘nebulous.’
