You can do all that stuff he wants in medieval moves, and as a consequence it's all on rails. I had hoped for a Kameo type game with motion controls, but no.
Rise of nightmares doesn't make me feel confident that it will happen any time soon.
It would be useful to assign different spells to different hand gestures, but having to put down the controller constantly is not going to work.

Figure out how to move around comfortably first?use controller

Kinect game dosen't mean you can only use Kinect to play

We'll need a new split controller first then, a nunchuck to hold in each hand. How else can you move and turn around quickly and use your hands to cast spells? That would probably be too difficult to do, make gestures while using a thumbstick.

Use 1 nunchuck and only cast with your right hand while you are restricted to 3rd person view with no camera control?

Use 1 nunchuck and headtracking for turning and looking up and down and have your right hand free? Seems annoying to me to constantly have to watch the screen from the corner of your eyes.

Or switch to a fight arena final fantasy style, meaning you have to put down the controller and stand up for each fight and be restricted to dodging and side stepping.

None of these sound very practical to me for a game as long as Skyrim. It will work when you are stationary (shooting spells, bows) but I do quite a bit of moving around while fighting.
