1.8 has caused a crap ton of animation related bugs for me, and today something very creepy started to happen. I fast traveled to Markarth to complete a quest, and right when I get there, I see a guard frozen mid-animation, one foot in the air. He was only able to move his head to look around. As I walk around the city I start seeing more and more of these frozen people, and one by one everyone in the city freezes.
The same thing happened at Castle Volkihar later.
Now walking around Markarth or Castle Volkihar feels like I'm in a horror movie or something. Has this happened to anyone else?
