Apparently You Are Being Follwed The Entire Game!!

[Teewood]

Hey Guys,

I need someone's view on this, but I am pretty sure that you are followed by an assassin named Ranes Ienith from the start of the game until you finish a specific quest. I've looked on Google high and low but no one has ever mentioned this.

Pretty much, from the start of the game, when you are travelling through the country side, if you listen carefully, you can hear running foot steps behind you that are constantly chasing you. But when you stop and turn around, there is nothing there. It drove me crazy for ages, but one time after I stopped in the middle of nowhere and heard the footseps chasing me, I stopped and quickly jumped backwards and found someone by the name of Ranes Ienith stuck in a tree. I'm pretty sure it was a bug, but I caught him out follwing me.

The crazy thing is, that after you kill Ranes Ienith and finish the quest 'Writ for Navil and Ranes Ienith', which is an assassins guild quest, the running footsteps beind you stop immeidatley!

Can anyone else tell me if they've experience this in Morrowind. If it is actually a real thing that the developers put in, i think its awesome! Being stalked the entire game!

I never noticed it, but if it was true that would be awesome.

I have started to play Morrowind just today, after installation of Graphics & Sound Overhaul 3.0. I turned Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansion off in case to prevent Dark Brotherhood attacks early on. I play with Permanent Death rule (Iron Man, Dead is Dead) so just not to end my game soon.

My character on his way to Balmora to deliver the package to Caius and I'm going to travel on my own so it will be great chance to try and hear those footsteps behind and see if this is real. Will get headphones on for better attention.

If this is true it is just incredible! :D

Now that you mention it, yes. I always just thought that it was a problem with the footstep noise syncing up with the actual footsteps. I've never played through Morag Tong questline but my current character is in it, and I'm around halfway through. Do you know which branch you get this quest from?

Ranes Lenith is not supposed to exist until you attack Navil or Galos Farethi during a quest for either the thieves guild or the Morag Tong. He will appear behind you once you attack those NPC's.

Navil and Galos are downstairs in Dren's Villa at the Dren Plantation. Ranes Lenith should appear in that room too once you attack those other NPCs.

I don't understand how Ranes Lenith could be following you the whole game if he doesn't exist until you attack either Navil or Galos during the appropriate quest or how he could follow you outside Dren's Villa unless he somehow became a follower and was glitched somehow.

It is unusual that he was following you and didn't attack you at some point and was only visible when he got stuck on the branch you mentioned.

I agree that it seems stupid that he is following you the entire game, but it's just the fact that the footstep noises stop as SOON as you kill him in that quest. It's possible that Ranes has soom powerful 100% chamelon spell and only breaks out of it when you attack his brother in the Dran Plantation house.

Hmmm, this sounds like a gamer urban legend to me, I don't buy it at all.

[Lip_Gloss]

No, you are not being followed the entire game.

Hey look, someone wrote gullible on the ceiling!

How do you know that?

Because we played the game, and there is nobody following you.

[Fernandohyde]

I heard that this so called assassin following you the entire game, isn't actually trying to kill you. His real purpose is to crash your game and possibly make your save files corrupted. So if you have a crash or your save gets corrupted it's actually the fault of that assassin guy the OP mentioned that's following you...

This is a VERY old thread but I have to necro it for a reason.

Just outside of Balmora I always run into Ranes Ienith. When I kill him I cannot dispose of his corpse (and he's always a tough fight).

Until recently I just always thought he was there as a hazard. Then I read that he was not meant to exist until a certain quest.

I cannot find anybody else who has had this happen, and I have no mods that move him.

The OP may have had some insane glitch similar to what I experience.

Is there anybody else out there who has encountered this assassin before he is supposed to occur? I'd like to try and fix the issue since it isn't meant to be.

[CookiePuppy]

Just so nobody thinks I have made this up; I took a screenshot. I turned on God mode so his bolts wouldn't kill me as this is a relatively fresh character.

Not a mod! He's just always been there. :/

This is just between Balmora and Caldera.

Almost 10 years later after I posted this no one has confirmed this. I still believe it to be true. I WAS being followed. Im not crazy. I wish a dev would confirm it.
