    Only thing I care about!

  • Happy 10th Morrowind!

  • YAYAYAYAYA!!!!

  • Can't understand why more people aren't excited about this. I've always found the need for macros in this game. The new voice commands may suffice...

  • Wow, there's a Skyrim Kinect?! Cool on paper, but honestly, chopping down guys will be nothing more than waggling hysterically in the middle of your living room. Now if they had a Kinect holodeck. . .
  • This has already been done on PC and without buying an $150 microphone.
  • Eagerly awaiting a mod to subscribe to in Steam Workshop that can do this...

  • Btw kinect holodeck, idea just blew my mind..j/s.

  • I think id rather press a quite button you cant here than be shouting at the tv just to do a shout

  • This seems really convenient against having to go into the menu to change shouts all the time, and i'm pretty sure alot of people want to yell fus ro dah.

    Although, it's still not enough for me to go get a kinect.

  • Good for the Kinect gamers but I'm not interested in this.

  • I wouldnt play Skyrim with kinect.

  • This is an awesome addition to the game, even though I don't have kinect. My best friend have one, so I will be shouting at dragons eventually.

  • TOMORROW YES!

  • I TRIED USING KINECT WITH MASS EFFECT BUT IT JUS WAS A WASTE OF TIME. THE MIC IS TERRIBLE... I WAS YELLING REPEATEDLY TO GET MY TEAMMATE TO DO SOMETHING I FELT RETARDED SO I SAID SCREW THIS IM JUS GONNA USE THE MENU WHEEL...
  • Cool.  I'll have to try it out.

  • I started playing with my magic user and the kinect functionality is unbelievably useful. No longer do I have to go into menus three and four times just to get my armor spell, muffle, and switch back to my destruction spell, now I can just say it while I'm on the move to my objective.

    To all those who say it's not useful or not well implemented, you're totally off. It saves me tons of time.

    Quicksave.

  • This is great, i only wish it was done earlier.

  • Can't wait to go home and try this out. This is making work go much slower than normal haha

  • haha i can't wait to get home nd try this out
