Who said he was striving for 100% realism? Of all the things to crit the guyon, stylistic choice shouldn't be one of them. That's the artist's call. That's ALWAYS the artist's call.
That's why I like Halo. It doesn't strive for realism... The only realistic aspects are there to make it relatable. It doesn't take crap from other game devs either (grey, blue, and brown. Steel bolts and meathooks). It does it's own thing visually.

You could select the whole model and use "merge points" to lower the polycount.
Just make the threshold higher than usual.

Just replicate exactly what you want to see. Nothing less than that is remotely acceptable. That's how you make a good model.

You can do the beam the same way they do it in the games. Just some trans maps on some flat planes.

Yet, I have a hard time remembering more than one that came to fruition. Good luck, though...
Like a broken freakin record.

That could also help....But it could also quadruple the already long rendering times too.

What I do is I add a local light that's near (but not all the way) pitch black to the dark areas.

I know what you mean. It seems some objects can't go darker than their own diffuse or something.

You could drag select the faces near the general area and press "c" thendetatch the faces. :/ It would take a while, but it'd work.

He's already said he want's to do this alone.
The only chance we have of this becoming open source is if he quits and releases it.

You should try the "shell" tool. It's really useful for projects like this.
