Skyrim to add kinect-powered dragon shouts


If it wasn't already fun enough to imitate the dragon shouts from last years smash hit, the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, now Bethesda plans to release DLC that will allow players to put their Kinects to use and use their voices.

The best part about the DLC is that it is free. Usually free DLC doesn't come as packed with content, but Bethesda stated that there will be a full list of 200 voice commands. This means that players will be able to do more than just voice dragon shouts. Players will also be able to use the Kinect to command their followers, equip hotkeys, and control all menus.

Other non-kinect features of the DLC include special map functions, more hotkey options, and the ability to sort items in your inventory by name, weight, and value. The actual list of voice commands will be available before the update goes live, giving Kinect owners time to memorize and perfect the commands.

The update is scheduled to come out later this month, so players will be able to let their Thu'um be heard in no time.
