Erothin Bug - Portcullis Won't Open

[Imryll]

Waiting 24 hours didn't help in my game.

Had the same problem, fixed it by swimming around the waterfront part of the city, then jumped over a wall (later I realized there was a gate)
Then next day it fixed itself.

BTW, was there a begger that tried to get in the first time you got there?

[Imryll]

Yes. The save I sent is after the beggar ran off.

You should wait until night, and then again wait until the next day. Besides, you can avoid going through the gates: Near the entrance to the jail, there is a door. And you can go to Erothin by water.

Thanks! Waiting till night and then till morning worked.
