Accessibility
You can set aiming and sprinting to a toggle rather than holding a button. You still need to hold down buttons for interactions and mining. There is a nice Auto Loot option where you can specify which rarity of item to automatically collect when you pass over it. You can also opt for a Double Press to Roll to make movement require fewer keys or buttons. Some Keybinds can't be changed as they are hard coded to specific events in the game.
You can customise what you see on the head up display extensively. This doesn't alter menus or inventory displays though. You can opt for Large Fonts although this doesn't make a very big difference. Damage on you and enemies is signified by audio and visual feedback. There are audio queues when you use your abilities, but there isn't a visual equivalent.
