"So because of - insert copious techno jargon to do with lighting and shit - that is a far more likely reason characters don't look like their models in video games, rather than people deliberately making them ugly for an agenda. I mean look at Johnny from Cyberpunk, he doesn't look EXACTLY like Keanu Reeves."
He looks a damn site more like Reeves than most modern Western female characters do like their models. This also conveniently ignores examples like Kal Kestis or that Black Chick that's in everything nowadays where their characters look pretty much EXACTLY like their actors.
Like you don't even need to mention Eastern made Games to show that argument is complete and utter nonsense. They can, VERY EASILY have the characters look like the models for them, they simply CHOOSE to not do that and make them uglier on purpose, at least for female characters anyway.
Also damn when you see a video that features both Outlaws gameplay and Jedi Survivor gameplay, I know for damn sure which one I'd be more likely to play.

Someone's probably going to go nuts with that, but Sephiroth has controlled multiple bodies as far back as the OG, and the fabric of reality was having a very bad day during the last fight.
Seph wasn't doing some True Form Darkseid impression, he was just yeeting Jenova cells across (already broken) dimensions to keep the party away from Cloud so he could 1 v 1 him. Which didn't work because Zack and Aerith are almost as clingy as Sephiroth is
The entire series would collapse in an instant if someone would just teach Cloud what a restraining order is.

Yo. Anybody know what's up with the wiki?
Now tell us how any of that actually happened and not anything else since we already see contradictions with the "fall of Shady Sands" being mentioned years before the events of NV? Not to mention that would mean that the NCR would be weakened and at worst become sort of a rump state in the shadow of it's former glory but no where near instantly wiped out.
Except the name "Shady Sands" was changed when the NCR itself was established to just "NCR" as it is mentioned in Fallout @ where the name is just "NCR town" instead of Shady Sands and the Fallout NV guide that it was the original name of the capital, not it's current one.
From the Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition
"In 2186, the town of Shady Sands changed its name to "New California Republic" and formed a trial council government to draft a constitution. Four more settlements joined the council, and in 2189 the NCR was voted into existence as a sprawling federation of five states: Shady Sands, Los Angeles, Maxson, Hub, and Dayglow."
https://fallout.wiki/wiki/New_California_Republic_(town)#cite_note-FNVGG-4
So it even being named that is not only a contradiction, but even worse it implies the STATE of Shady Sands was nuked. The one that housed it's Capital.
Because the name was changed to just NCR. The name "Shady" was used for one of the NCR's states. The only people who still called it Shady Sands was Tandi in Fallout 2 and she was old enough to be around before the NCR was founded.
The East Cost Brotherhood of Fallout 3 and 4 was already a contention for everyone who played the original games and them somehow having so much resources and manpower was lazy world building just as bad as how they were written to be essentially goody two shoes post apocalyptic Knights when they were more neutral isolationist technological hording quasi religious fanatics.
And guess how well either of those titles did? Badly. The fact neither Bethesda nor Obsidian treated them as canon makes my own damn point because barely anyone played Tactics, and no on liked BOS. Not like it matters because once again, the Western BOS were meant to fall away due to their overly aggressive hording and isolationist policy caused them to fall out of favor with others and begin to fall behind as others like the NCR began to bridge the technology gap. Even in Fallout 2 they were not as large as they were in 1 meaning even then they were shown to be dwindling and the direction they were going was backwards, not forwards. Not to mention the other two titles you mentioned were set before Fallout 2 further going along with my point. Having their Gary Stu Eastern Coast pals just instantly bring them back up to level with them is just like I said, Lazy world building that ignores how much that should drain their resources and manpower to support their dying Western group especially since outside of the NCR, they would have the Legion and the various tribes to deal with. It reeks of shallow storytelling.
Which one of the rangers says they are chasing "ghosts' which implies they are facing little resistance there and are just wasting troops there. This means that the NCR is spreading troops into too many territories which in the event of an independent route would mean they would logically pull back and regroup their forces to better defend themselves. Nothing close to a collapse.
Once again, where does it say everything in the Independent ending happened? And like I said, the NCR was mostly putting it's forces into other lands out of arrogance from it's politicians, not because they were losing, the Rangers mention how they would rather be fighting in the Mojave then in Baja.
Yeah no. All I see has been contradictions and lazy reasoning that sounds more like cope from apologists that are giving more benefit of the doubt to the writers then they are to themselves. Regardless of how you try to justify it with lore reasoning, all it leads to is more BOS wank and far less interesting story opportunists because Todd Howard is to the BOS what Matt Ward is to the Ultramarines.

Why is that so hard these days
Don't really think there'd be much for him. If he likes Isekai he might like high fantasy in general in which caseUnironically

I'd recc Slayers, Sorcerer Stabber Orphen (Which has gotten a recent anime if he doesn't wanna watch the older ones), Bastard!! (Has also gotten a more recent anime)Escaflowne (an Isekai funnily enough), and Those Who Hunt Elves(also an isekai). This is imo a decent mix of both the comedic and serious. If he takes to those I'd recommend the Lodoss OVAs. The TV series is eh but not complete ass or anything but the OVAs are timeless. I'd recc pretty much anything by Mizuno tbh so Lodoss, Rune Soldier and Crystania. Scrapped Princess as a niche pick and Fushigi Yugi as a meme
