To dodge in Oblivion Remastered , you need to unlock the dodge ability first by leveling your Acrobatics skill to level 25 (Apprentice tier). You can level Acrobatics quickly by jumping repeatedly around the game world, which grants experience in that skill
. Once unlocked, the dodge mechanic is performed by holding the Block button and pressing the Jump button simultaneously while moving in a direction. This causes your character to dodge in the chosen direction, consuming some stamina (fatigue) each time you dodge
Controls for Dodging
- PC: Hold Right Mouse Button (Block) + Spacebar (Jump) + directional key (WASD or arrow keys)
- Xbox: Hold Left Trigger + Y + directional stick
- PlayStation: Hold L2 (or L1) + Triangle + directional stick
You can dodge forward, sideways, or diagonally depending on the direction you hold while performing the dodge command
Additional Notes
- Dodging is especially useful against enemies that use spells or projectiles.
- It is not as effective in tight dungeon spaces where you can get cornered.
- Dodging consumes stamina, so managing your fatigue and increasing your Strength, Willpower, and Agility stats can help you dodge more frequently
- Some mods exist that allow binding dodge to a single button for convenience, but by default, it requires the block + jump + direction input
In summary, to dodge in Oblivion Remastered:
- Level Acrobatics to 25 by jumping.
- Hold Block + Jump + move in a direction.
- Use the appropriate controls depending on your platform.
This mechanic adds a dynamic and skillful element to combat beyond just blocking with a shield
