Default accessibility for disabled gamers

Development team..

Long and short of it, I'm a quadriplegic but I have assistive equipment (headmouse/sip-puff switch for mouse and keyboard with re-mapped controls) that allows to still be able to play games on PC such BF3, Batman AC, Assassin's Creed and more.. I just wanted to know if Tomb Raider will allow me to re-map key bindings to other keys on the keyboard so I can customize the contols so i'll be able to play it..

i hope so, you could ask your question in the following thread as well: http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=126153
it might get answered on E3 by one of the Developers then.

Assuming that PC gamers don't get screwed over (yet again, but generally CD is quite nice with ports and such) you should be able to rebind keys. There should also be graphical options (which all nice PC ports have).

I'm also sorry to hear that you've been physically disabled, but like you said, at least you get to enjoy your life.

Hopefully a mod or someone will see this and might forward it to the devs. I know the Legend of Grimrock devs were contacted by another physically disabled gamer and added optional mouse-based only controls to make it easier for him. I thought it was fantastic that they addressed this issue.
