The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to support Kinect

Bethesda Softworks says the Xbox 360 version of their role-playing epic The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will soon support Kinect. According to a post on the official Bethesda blog, the free title update is expected to launch later this month. The Kinect-enabled Skyrim will support more than 200 voice commands, including the ability to order around followers, pull up menus and -- the most important reason to include Kinect support to begin with -- Dragon shouts. Another bonus: calling up Favorites. Watch the video above as the demonstrator shows how to assign weapons and equip them using only your voice. A full list of voice commands will be available in the coming weeks, Bethesda says. The update will also add features such as special map functions and the ability to sort inventory by name, weight or value. Bethesda's post also hints at future Skyrim downloads, saying details on the first pieces of DLC will be revealed soon.
