The point is I never see people that fat in Sweden (I guess it's about the same in France), while I did it almost all of the time in the United States, especially in smaller cities. Conclusion: There must be something that differs, no?
I must agree that the Combat Armor has much better looks and feel than the Power Armors. However, if I have to choose between them I'd say Hardened Power Armor. It's quite sad that the Combat Armor isn't that useful for very long, at least in Fallout 2. I usually get it in San Francisco or if...
Recently, I began thinking about this and my conclusion was that the Advanced Power Armor is plain ugly and boring, and that the original Power Armor looks much cooler. What's your opinion?
