    @‌fish0331 Did you grab the letters from Daveron's chest? I remember that being the trigger to lower the drawbridge.

    If I recall correctly, immediately when Davaeorn is killed the game is interrupted with a narration screen signalling the start of chapter 5. I think entering chapter 5 is the if:then condition by which to enter the city.

    Yes, I've already killed davaeorn and have attempted to enter BG. Drawbridge is still up. I have 3 letters relating to davaeorn not sure if there is more...I tried adding in/looking for a missing quest scroll in ee keeper but didn't find one that triggered quest completion.

    You need to flood the mine to enter BG but if you did that already...

    Are you playing the beta or version 1.2? Are you running any mods?
  • TressetTresset Member, Moderator Posts: 8,268
    That's odd. The game thinks you are in chapter 4... That would be the problem. To advance the chapter enter the following in your console: 
    C:SetGlobal("chapter","global",5)

    As @Lemernis already mentioned, the only condition for lowering the drawbridge is reaching Chapter 5, regardless of any stuff you've taken from Davaeorn.

    There is a chance that the script has been interrupted for some reason. Try resetting the associated variable by entering the following command into the console: 
    C:SetGlobal("Drawbridge","GLOBAL",0)
    If that doesn't help, you are either not (yet) in Chapter 5 or a mod has changed the associated script.

    It should work. I loaded your save game and used my console command and the bridge was instantly lowered. Here is a save with the bridge lowered.
