Re-keybinding WASD to arrow keys does not work

I really hope this is a mistake/oversight, but I have made multiple attempts to re-keybind the movement keys (WASD) to the arrow keys, to no avail. I've been able to do this in all prior games for Dragon Age (and ME, for that matter).

Can someone please confirm whether or not this is a bug or intended? If it's the latter, I need to request a refund, as I will be unable to play the game. I don't dare even open the game at this point because it took me an hour to get through character creation, and I don't know the cutoff for a refund being possible.

As I was pondering this last night, my memory kept telling me that this happened with another of Bioware's games - maybe ME3? Or even possibly DA:I? Where the WASD re-mapping would not work for the arrow keys. I know it happened with another AAA game because I remember posting about it then and someone from the dev team saying they were going to fix it (and they did, because I did get to play the game), but I can't remember if it was Bioware. I want to say it was, simply because these days, I don't play as many games as I used to when I was younger, but Bioware's ME/DA are still must-buys, so the chances that it was one of their titles is pretty good.
If it was, then the good news is that they will probably fix it here for this game as well.

Hey y'all, if anyone is still having issues with this and wants to use the arrow keys, someone kindly found a way around it in this thread; their user is Necroyeti, though I'd advise making a copy of the file just in case.

Please fix this! $80 for the game and at least 10% can't play it? Mapping movement to the numpad works but is really annoying to those of us who are used to using the arrow keys. Plus, it cuts off 4 keys we could use for other actions.
