I wish they would fix some of the bugs as well... currently the companions quest line is glitched because of a fragment of Wuuthrad is MIA.

Thats awesome
by Vexxtech Tuesday, May 01, 2012 at 07:31 PM

I wish there was some way to incorporate this with just a regular mic. The time-saving features in this update are awesome, but I don't want to actually buy a Kinect at this time.

The one thing that Kinect can't seem to "connect" is the formula of fun to the gamer.

Skyrim with Kinect is Fun or not...

Is this the actual *** update that adds the ability to kill your "current" wife and marry Lydia?
by Sean Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 12:04 AM

this will be helpfull with the hotkey stuff. The shouts will be fun for a minute, but it's really all about the extra stuff.
by Jet Pirate Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 03:33 PM

Yep just downloaded it. I love the new features and shouting spells and how easy fast traveling is. The downside is that whatever someone says in a room can be interpreted as a shout. I once talked to this old lady and the game picked it up as me using unrelenting force. Yep she flew right off the cliff and I got thrown in jail. XD

Tried the Kinect functions for the first time today. Walked in to the Companions headquarters to join. Was talking to their head guy and during the course of the conversation he said the word "fire". My character immediately cut loose with a fire shout that half incinerated him and set everybody in the vicinity up in arms to attack me. Kinect functions were disabled immediately thereafter.

What I don't get is why it's for Kinect. Why not have Skyrim support voice commands from a mic? That would also allow the update to be available to PS3 users.

The updatability of this game is amazing. Future updates will include an in-game terminal where all your real-world banking can be done.
