Hi all,
I’m also playing on PS4 (pro) and the very same problem. First of all: SPOILER ALLERT.
tltr: Removed all save games, started a whole new game, could leave through the gate without problems.
The longer version:
I started the game just with the disc. Did the patch download in the background. I played a couple of hours until I reached Talmberg.
Than I saved (old game version) and installed the update (the big one - about 20 GB). Than I continued with the old save and finally ran into the “gate problem”.
I did very little testing about when and why this issue occurs, but have some theories about what might have happened.
-
The problem is because of the “mixed game” I had. So started and saved in Version 1.0, patched and loaded savegame. Perhaps this could lead to such a problem?
-
There are 3 (and perhaps even more) methods to leave the town. Of this 3, I mixed up 2 of them: I talked with the Lady of the lord (I have forgotten her name) AND with the guard. Perhaps this leads to the glitch.
The third way of escaping, jumping down the bridge I tried but it felt unsatisfying and doesn’t matched my “character” So I left this one out.
The solution I did in the new game was to simply only talk to the lady, got the money and the location of the watchmens clothes, and left the main gate as an unrecognized watchman.
Whats about the people here who are complaining? Did some or all of you have a mixed game as I had (number 1 in my description) or did you also “mixed up” the 2 conversations (guard at the gate and the lady)? Perhaps this way the dev’s could nail down whatever is happening there…
Beside this: I hope this will help someone.
Thanks for reeding
PS: GREAT GAME beside the little glitches here and there…
