This game was a total mess with crashing and bugs. An embarrasment. Too bad they didn't fix this game sooner. I'm already done with the game.

I wouldn't go as far as an embarrassment, but sheesh those bugs drove me insane, and yes I too have long since finished. Although I did always want to go back and get that super horse........

Yeah i would not say embarrassment i am currently on the search to find the "elder scrolls" so i still have allot to go. I had to put in a PC COMMAND to get past one quest cause it was bugged. Other then that the game is absolutely amazing, storyline is great. I cannot wait to see this on my new PC build which will be 6 series nvidia. i7. Cannot wait.

Bethesda adding over 200 Kinect voice commands to Xbox 360 Skyrim

What kind of voice commands? Well, players will be able to access their "entire menu of shouts" just by speaking the magic words, so screaming "Fus Roh Dah!" at the TV will actually do something other than making you look like a crazy person. You'll also be able to give commands like "follow" and "attack" to your allies simply by speaking them, and assign hotkeys for weapon and spell combinations without having to dive into a menu.
