Can't say how useful this would be for you, but it's PC and 360, so it should work no problem, if not, there's software you can use to force it to work with defiance - i use x360ce.

Not the perfect solution, but, in the long run, it might help you out for other games as well.

++ on g13. I have configured mine for Defiance, but I'm a bit of a Klutz with it at the moment. I've used it forever on MMORPGs. I can imagine getting pretty good with this in Defiance with a few hours practice. It is meant for left hand work though. It might feel really bad in right hand.

In terms of the actual fight, you might see if you can find a SAW with a fire effect. SAW is great for laying a lot of dmg on Jack when he comes down and the fire nano may light the little smelters on fire.

I really don't think that the response that you got was an auto letter, I have gotten those myself and they sound a lot diff. The one you got just speaks in general terms so as not to offend you, so that they can not have anything held against them.

I do hope you can finish this with what I have given you, and wish you all the best.

if that wasn't an auto letter then that gm needs to get fired for being a ****** bag.

@OP:

Does your thumb on your left hand work? If so, you may want to look into getting something like what I use, not because of any disability just because it is much more comfortable & easier / smoother to play with than a normal keyboard for me. Here it is: http://www.belkin.com/n52te/index1.html

Where your thumb would go is a mix of analog stick & directional pad (like on a console controller) where if the analog setup works for you, great, if not you can just pop it off and use it as keys / directional pad. Also that and any f the other keys on the entire pad can be remapped to be any key on your keyboard as well as mouse buttons. You can also create macros which would allow you to perform several key presses in a row rather with 1 key press rather than having to press individual keys for everything.

I dont know exactly what the situation is and what works for you, but something like this may make it a bit easier for you to maneuver around and do things in the game.

Also, A Razer Naga mouse might also be good for you if the gamepad isnt. Along with normal mouse functions you have a large number of keys on the side of the mouse, and a couple extras on the top, that can be mapped to keys on your keyboard and have macros as well. This might help out by allowing you to perform most of your actions, including movement, all with your thumb on your mouse.

I wouldnt say that. I think they simply misunderstood and thought he was asking for credit for the mission, not that he was asking them to stop these missions from being solo only and allow friends to join with you to help out.

The response is kind of understandable if that was what the CSR thought. As screwed up as it is, we all know that if they did grant credit for such things to legitimately disabled people, you would have an army of spoiled whiny kids pretending to be disabled just to get free credit for stuff and ruining it for those who do actually need the help.

Great thread and outcome (though it would have been a LOT better if someone official had stuck their head in here)

Pity you cant use an old joystick for directional travel instead of the keyboard .
