I was playing the quest "The Throat of the World" and was using the Clear Skies shout to dissolve the fog in my way.
I touched the fog and received a harmful effect listed in the Active Effects tab which was soon gone. I am pretty sure that while this harmful effect was in effect, there formed ice around my feet.
However, at the top I noticed that I had some smoking ice around my feet, presumably from the harmful fog. I played on thinking the ice would disappear in time and left the mountain.
However, several hours later the smoking ice is still there. I've received Aedra blessings to see if that would help, but it did not.
I changed all my clothes, but that didn't help either.
And I used the showracemenu to change six to woman, then change back again and save my character. This removed the ice temporarily, but after fast-traveling, walking around a bit and changing from third person to first person and back, the smoking ice had returned.
In addition to smoking like liquid nitrogen, the ice cycles through 2 or 3 sizes every 5 seconds, and I believe this is what causes the other bug I'm experiencing: My Imperial is suddenly half a head taller than a Solitude Guard. Using setscale 1 restores my default height, but my character soon grows to Altmer proportions again.
Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this? Has this bug been reported before?
I googled a bit, but I can't search too thorough because of fear of spoilers.
