I didn't buy it yet either. Skyrim wouldn't let you rebind movement to
the numberpad, I worked around that by using keys on the right side of
the keyboard. It wasn't ideal, but I got by.

>From what I'm reading, Skyrims bindings were easy to separate from the
main part of the game so modders were able to fix them. Fallout 4 is
more integrated and complex. So far, the best anyone has been able to
do is make an Auto Hot Key script. I'll consider dealing with that
kind of nonsense to play a cheapie, I'm not buying a full priced game
then wasting an hoour or more on a kludge to make it playable.
