Summary
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredis a loot goblin’s paradise. you’re able to’t really take five steps in Cyrodiil withoutcoming across a dungeon, cave,or roving bandit keen on emptying your wallet for all it’s worth. You can very quickly find yourself buried by items, and every slain enemy is another chance to rifle through someone’s pockets to see what goodies they’re carrying.
Unfortunately, you can sometimes lose a body or two due to how frantic the first-person combat in Oblivion can be, especially if you’re fighting in a dense area thick with tall grass or bushes. I’m sure I can speak for most people when I say I’ve spent more time than I care to admit rifling around in the grass trying to find a dead body that’s somehow slid fifty feet away from where it dropped.
Thankfully, the graphical power of Oblivion Remastered has made this once-arduous chore fairly simple, as the local map is a lot more detailed this time around.First shared by a user called SnakeHaveYou, they point out that the local map in Oblivion Remastered actually lets you see where dead NPCs and enemies are, capturing their location when you open your map.
SnakeHaveYou showcases this quite helpfully in their post, pointing out that you can see two dead scamps, a very much alive guard, as well as his dead horse next to him. With this feature, if you’re missing a dead body you know you haven’t looted, but you can’t find it due to tall grass or bushes, you can whip open your local map and see where it is.
Another user called A_model_citizen _ claims that this even works for chests too, as the local map will let you see if there are any chests you might have missed in the gloom of a cave or dungeon. It’s not often that the graphical power of a game is actually helpful,rather than just something nice to look at, so make sure to utilize this feature whenever your loot goblin urges strike.
