Dovahkiinect: Modder Adds Surprisingly Impressive Motion Control to Skyrim

The notion of shoehorning Microsoft's already notoriously, er, prolific motion control contraption into Skyrim -- of all things -- may seem like the worst idea since, well, ever, but an intrepid modder's proof-of-concept video has us reconsidering our stance. Sure, our faithful keyboard-and-mouse combo could probably KO a dragon (and definitely aim a bow) with more finesse, but this setup looks sort of, dare we say it, fun? Unfortunately, the demonstrator doesn't “Fus Ro Dah” any hapless bandits into the sun, but he does briefly break out Ice Form. And come on, we can't be the only ones who occasionally shout -- in real life -- when busting our foes' eardrums (and, you know, faces). Unless, of course we are, in which case... Hey, look! A video!

Looks awesome for battle but I would hate to run through alchemy, inventory, selling stuff, and other menu intensive stuff.
BTW, there is a fix for using the arrow keys in menus in Skyrim (broken in the last patch).

I'd love to play Skyrim using motion control as long as it functioned properly. I haven't checked recently, but the last time I looked at the Razer Hydra it didn't have support for Skyrim. If it did I'd buy it.
