Actually, files with the _N.dds are called ocular occlusion maps. I am talking about simply adding a bump map to the texture itself using PS, GIMP, etc. It seems to me that it would make it look a little bit better. I have used them a couple times to make things appear to have a 3d surface. Of course, doing it via the occlusion map would be even better.
