Keybinds to arrow keys?

Question

I don't understand why it's not possible to change your movement keys to arrow keys. As a left-handed person, I really have problems playing with fun.
Of course, you can also use remapping programs like AutoHotKey etc., but that's not a good permanent solution and you get problems with the camera movement (it wobbles when you move forward/backward with the arrow key) because these are tied to the camera, and you can only prevent this by taking a detour.

You can also go directly into the files and adjust them with a text editor, but that's not so easy and if you're a beginner, you'd better not do that. We're in the year 2024. BW/EA is not a small indie developer, so I don't understand why BW/EA doesn't implement a solution/option themselves? It worked in the previous DA games.

I hope a responsible employee at BW/EA notices this and maybe a patch/hotfix will come in the near future.

I first tried manually editing the profile file, and that worked but I had the wobble problem when moving forward. So then I tried the Windows PowerToys keyboard mapper, and thst worked with no wobble. Not an ideal solution by any means, but is it working until EA fixes the problem correctly.&nbsp;

And if i use AutoHotkey or PowerToys from Windows it often buggy f.ex. u AutoRun automaticly or movement stuck for few seonds etc. And if you edit the profile data, you have the problem with the wobbly camera (because camera nav is too bind for up and down arrow keys) and you can't change this keys ingame.
Thats so annoying and unplayble, i don't understand why they can't implement arrow key movement and rebind camera keys etc.

The arrow keys have hard coded in game functions, so this might be complicated to change.&nbsp;

warfrost42 · Answer

The game functions they are hard-coded to aren't core functions. I don't need locked keys to navigate a multi-floor map. That isn't even remotely as important as being able to move. There was just no reason to lock the arrow keys. I know a LOT of people that this is a deal-breaker for because they need the arrow keys to be able to play. The best we can hope for is that either Bioware fixes this massive oversight or some blessed modder saves us and makes a mod that lets us bind movement to the arrow keys. =)

Hard coding the arrow keys into the game function makes no sense.&nbsp; Every other modern game maker takes in consideration that not all gamers are right-handed.
