How is the Kinect support a "pointless waste of valuable resources and time."?
If anything, it saves you valuable time. No more using that subpar Favorites menu to rifle through all your shouts, spells weapons etc. It's like a voice hotkey system. Plus inventory/follower management is cool.
It's a waste of Bethesda's time. Not ours. Inventory sorting can be implemented without Kinect, but we're most likely going to have to wait for the version that doesn't require it which nullifies the impact it's really going to have.
It's a gimmick nothing more. It's what Kinect and all forms of motion control are and always will be, they may be fun, but they're just a gimmick. Control pads and keyboard and mouse work fine don't they?
Don't fix what isn't broken. (Very ironic considering the forum we're on)
The system needs work, but it works... sort of.
Kinect integration is wonderful and everything, but it's something that at present only helps a third (if not less than that) of Skyrim's actual player base. Beth's time would be better spent doing something that benefits the many rather than the few.
All of us may well get the inventory sorting feature in a new patch, but how long will we have to wait for it compared to those that own Kinect?
