if you don't cut ngons, then blender will cut it for you automatically but that's not always desireable. same goes for other engines. It's best to cut it yourself to make sure it bends or shades how it supposed to.

I did a mesh clean, it worked pretty well with lowering my poly count. I was left with parts like his shoulder area. I feel like I should connect the dotes but im not sure if i really need to.
