Kinect gives Skyrim fans something to shout about The Elder Scrolls V is set to support Microsoft's Kinect for Xbox 360, meaning Dragonborn fans can take control of their Skyrim experience through voice and gesture control. The update lets users yell dragon shouts, command followers and control hotkeys, as well navigate that inconvenient UI menu with ease. A full list of …
Bleh, waste of dev time. It would have been better if they'd working on making the UI less horrible.

It sounds like this is only using the voice commands thou, so it's really using Kinect either, just using a Microphone. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't available for PS3 too if you have the camera/multi directional mic.

this seems to have addressed that. I obviolusly wont be buying a kintect for it though.
(Imagine that, an advert makes a product look good...)
