Oblivion Remastered PSA: You Can Use The Local Map To Find Dead Enemies

by

Summary

  • The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered’s local map is hiding a very helpful feature that should help loot goblins fill their pockets easier.
  • First pointed out by Reddit user SnakeHaveYou, you can see dead bodies and alive NPCs on the game’s local map, even if they’re concealed by foliage.
  • That should make finding a dead body or two that has somehow slid away from where it dropped a little easier.

The re-imagined version of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion offers a treasure hunter’s dream in the realm of Cyrodiil. It’s almost impossible not to stumble upon a dungeon, cave, or group of bandits intent on plundering your possessions every few steps. Before you know it, you could be overwhelmed with loot, and each fallen foe presents an opportunity to search their belongings for hidden treasures.

Sometimes, the intense first-person combat in Oblivion might lead to losing a character or two. This is particularly true when battling in crowded areas filled with tall vegetation like grass and bushes. It seems many players can relate to spending an unnecessary amount of time searching for bodies that have inexplicably moved quite a distance from where they fell.

Oblivion Remastered PSA: You Can Use The Local Map To Find Dead Enemies

I’m thrilled to say that navigating Oblivion Remastered is a breeze compared to before, thanks to its enhanced graphical prowess. The local map now offers a wealth of detail, making it easier than ever to find my way around. As pointed out by a user named SnakeHaveYou, the local map in Oblivion Remastered even reveals the locations of deceased NPCs and enemies! When I open my map, it marks their position, making exploration less guesswork and more fun.

In their post, SnakeHaveYou clearly highlights that there are two deceased scamps, a living guard, and his dead horse nearby. This handy feature allows players to easily locate a corpse they’ve missed during looting, even if it’s hidden by tall vegetation or bushes. Simply consult your in-game map to discover its exact location.

User A_model_citizen suggests that this method also applies to treasure chests, as the in-game map allows you to spot any overlooked chests hidden in the dim corners of caves or dungeons. It’s unusual for a game’s graphics to serve a practical purpose beyond aesthetic appeal, so remember to take advantage of this feature whenever your inner loot hunter stirs.
