Bethesda to add Kinect support to Skyrim this month
Bethesda is to add Kinect support for the Xbox 360 version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, with the update featuring more than 200 voice commands and other pieces of funtionality.
Kinect support will be introduced to Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for Xbox 360, Bethesda has announced. Support will be added in later this month as part of a free update to the RPG.
More than 200 voice commands will be added to the RPG, including the ability to equip hotkeys, follower commands, menu commands and dragon shouts – yes, you can now shout “fus ro dah” to your heart’s content.
A full list of shouts will emerge “in the coming weeks”.
Other options will include map functions and the ability to to sort items by name, weight and value.
There’s a video of Bethesda showing Skyrim and Kinect together in action below.

And there we go again with the useless voice commands. As long as NPC’s aren’t capable of realistic conversations, it won’t add anything to the game. Bit I guess MS won’t ever stop shoving Kinect up our ass until we all use it.

@5 I hope they went quiet because of the backlash of the rumor and are still making it.

Oh hey, voice commands like the type we got in SOCOM on PS2 being pawned off as a stunning new feature only Kinect can do.

Actually I thought that the sidebar where you choose your weapons/spells in the console versions was rather annoying, now that could be a thing of the past …
