📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a suite of spells to detect whether NPCs and creatures are friendly or hostile to the player. The spells work similarly to Detect Life. If a creature or NPC is hostile to the player, he/she/it will glow with a red fog similar to the default, purple Detect Life effect. Friendly targets will glow in green. The effect is dynamic; if a hostile actor is demoralized, calmed, commanded, etc while under Detect Hostility effect, the actor will appear friendly for the duration of the secondary effect.
Adds a suite of Detect Hostility spells that highlight hostile NPCs and creatures with a red fog, similar to Detect Life. A simple utility for Oblivion players who want to quickly assess threats, with 105 endorsements and last updated in 2008.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 105 endorsements and over 4.6k downloads.
- Adds a practical utility for stealth and combat players to spot enemies before engaging.
- Simple concept that integrates with existing Detect Life mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — may have compatibility issues with newer Oblivion versions or mods.
- Only adds detection spells, no other features or enhancements.
For Oblivion players who want a straightforward way to identify hostiles at a glance, especially stealth archers or mages who prefer to avoid surprise attacks. Skip if you're looking for overhauled magic systems or visual overhauls — this is a niche utility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2008, check if you're using Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) or other mods that might conflict; test in a clean save.
- Use the console command 'help detect' to find the spell IDs if you need to add them manually.
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Bash, install this mod and rebuild your bashed patch to ensure compatibility.
