Yes, I know that but usually something so obvious isn't left in the game.
I wasn't sure if it was a misplaced switch that actually had a use in the
game, or as you say, a testing convenience.
Another bug - if you open the portcullis right by the sewer entrance where
you first come up, it's all unfinished - there's a road leading to a wall
and another wall that is just not there. Not a dreaded blue wall though.
I'm not sure why the designer left the switch for that area in the game
either.
