Actually you're wrong on just about every count, birdman.
Keywords are completely irrelevant. Search engines don't even look at them any more. I've done extensive split testing on this.
I'm unfamiliar with your position on using "full page" links, but if it's true it won't be for long. Google despises ineffeciency. Page load times and efficient page architecture are becoming increasingly important factors in a pages ranking. Despite this I still reccomend using full URLs though. Over time sites can get pretty big and using full URLs are a good way to keep things organized. Of course since I've always used full URLs (because I was taught to, and because I've had bad experiences with sloppy server migrations when I didn't) it may very well be true.
You can be penalized for outbound links, but it has nothing to do with page rank. In fact as a metric page rank isn't really all that important any more (at least not the "green bar" in the browser which is usually just plain wrong anyway). As long as you don't link out to any "bad neighborhoods" (link farms and other spam sites) you'll be fine.
Goggle does not penalize sites for duplicate content. Copied pages and articles aren't worth as much as they would be if they were completely unique, but they do have value and there's no penalty (unless you are duplicating content on your own site, that's a major no-no).
Also, with the bioware site down the content isn't duplicate any more. More importantly, though, it's GOOD content and makes for a better user experience.
Content and relevance is important, but as long as you're providing high quality content for your users you're pretty much covered in that area. Alt tags can be used to increase page relevance. You are correct about that.
I'm not familiar with the websites you're recommending, but my experience is that site's like prchecker are usually pretty useless. Most are obsolete, and those that aren't are pushing a product or agenda. If I had to recommend a site review system I'd suggest TrafficTravis and the SEO firefox plugin has some fun tools, but both are overkill for a fan site.
Browsershots is cool.
XML sitemaps won't help your page rank, but it will improve your page discovery. In other words, XML sitemaps are only really useful if you have a dynamic site, but online services are useless. You need to get a real sitemap generator that's going to scan your site for new pages and update itself daily. For a fire and forget site they're pretty much useless.
Edit: Just took a look at PRChecker. It's a silly tool. It doesn't do anything Google Toolbar doesn't do, and it looks like it's just as inaccurate.
