And I wonder how that affects games. For instance one control method for 
many games is to use the W,A,S,D keys for movement. What happens on a 
Dvorak keyboard? And what if the same game uses the I key for 
"inventory" and C key for "character sheet"? Do they get switched around 
or not?

There is no way to predict this for every game, and I have never seen 
game documentation including Dvorak keyboards.
