Why are people taking body type as a major change? surely its just like gaining/losing weight? =P

I personally think face and skin tone are the most extreme changes (heck, i sometimes wonder if they should be included at all) and should be handled appropriately as high level pills. I mean they can change everything about what makes us US - our physical facial features and ethnicity are major shizney.

Come to think of it you're right, I guess as far as RSI Pills go, the extremity of a change is judged more by the changes to the model of your RSI than by equivalent real-life efforts.

MXO body types are not just a difference in muscle mass as far as I can tell by looking at the models. It's more apparent in the males than in the females, but anyway the types are entirely different morphologies--the heavier bodies have larger bone structures than the lighter bodies. The slender male body type would never look like the heavy body type, no matter how many weights he lifted and how many 'roids he took.

All well and good, and thanks for explaining that, never really payed that much attention before.

But looking at it from a perspective of character i would personally say turning from black to white or suddenly having a different facial bone structure, new nose, new eyes, new mouth etc is somewhat more 'radical' than gaining a six pack or having a boob job ( come on, we all know thats pretty much all female body types are SMILEY )

This of course excludes the extreme case of Micheal Jackson SMILEY

Also some people want to change the body type because the heaviest set of body (Type 3) shoots different with dual pistols/pistols outside of IL than Type 1 or 2 (Type 1,2 much cooler IMHO)

They run and walk different too.
I always found that quite a cool feature, that we have different sets of animations for the body models.

He's right. If any of you got the Gargoyle disguise for Halloween, you would've noticed this.

For the skinny or medium body types, the pistols shoot like this:

L             R

Boom

            Boom

Boom

            Boom

 

On the heavier body types (and on Gargoyle), the pistols shoot like this:

L              R

Boom

Boom    Boom  <----same time

 

Something like that, anyway.
