Before you give up all hope, keep one of your saved game files on your desktop, or an easy to remember folder, and do a complete uninstall and then reinstall of soa & tob. Then the Tob patch, and then the Tob fixpack. And even if that doesn't work ask around about the CLUA Console thing i think there is a way to hack into specific areas, it would be a shame to go back throug the entire game when you are literally at the final battle.
