I've been having this issue for the longest time and I've been doing everything I can to fix the problem. Whenever an NPC comes into view of my character, be it one or three or whatever, the camera begins to stutter really bad. They can be far away or close, doesn't matter. This happens indoors and outdoors. Whenever an NPC is NOT in view of my character, the game runs just fine and dandy and the way I remember it running. This happens when in conversations with NPCs too.

I've done everything I can think of to fix this problem - I've changed the display settings on my console, tried switching video cables, cleared the HDD cache, running off the HDD and the disc itself, previous patches, with no patches, with the current patch, etc. Mind you, this is with a new character too. Not an old save.

Is there anyone else that is having this problem? I want to play this game but it's damn near impossible when the game stutters when NPCs are in view.
