When I choose Hrodvar in the tutorial, he never seems to run to the second gate, thus making the first two Stormcloak enemies you encounter to not attack you. if you choose the stormcloak guy as your lead, the Imperials don't walk to the gate to attack, making entrance to the locked areas impossible.

This is a MAJOR bug that must be amended, Bethesda. This something that must have been overlooked as the patches rolled in.
