I am experiencing a strange graphical glitch which happens during some (but not all) quests that involve an NPC either having to follow me or lead me somewhere. It seems to trigger when I am in conversation with that NPC or, more recently, even when I enter the interior location where the NPC is standing. When he/she says "Follow me" or "Lead the way", and I say okay, the NPC does neither. He/She just stands there. I engage in conversation again and he/she says "Lets go" or "Lead On" or whatever and again, they do not move. These are vanilla quests (I don't think I have any mods that involve having a companion type situation)... such as the quest for Benirus Manor and more recently, the quest "Order of the Virtuous Blood". There have been others and sometimes I've just abandoned the quest or I try to complete it via console.
If I don't touch the keyboard or mouse and the game is supposed to go into that screensaver type mode where it rotates around your character, I instead get this...

Even though it's happening with vanilla quests, I think it must be mod related. But... I only have only about 20 mods, the most complicated being QTP3 and WAC.
My big concern is that, if I remember right, isn't Martin going to be with me for the latter part of the main quest? I may not be able to complete it if it happens at that point.
Anyone ever seen this type of thing? I've searched and searched and can find no reference to anything similar. Do you think a mod is causing this or something else?
