I especially love the dialogue about his plan at the hospital. It's just so WRONG. Whichever Dev thought that up should be evaluated, and regardless of the result, should write more content for villains.

I love him, too. I think the new arcs are great at immersing the player into the game world. Older missions are just sort of "go here, fight this"-type stuff, but the new arcs , with characters recurring and appearing in various locations throughout the game world are great. Made me feel like the world was much more real.
In another thread, the old archenemy system was mentioned. I'd love for them to have a recurring villain appear through a character's career in a similar way to how these missions are handled. Maybe one story arc featuring a recurring badguy every 5 levels or so, so that by the time you hit 50, you'll have faced your archfoe in about 10 stories. You can have your final confrontation at level 50 as a cap on your career (or before going on to Incarnate stuff-- whatever).

The character is great. That he'll probably make most bluesiders puke makes him even cooler.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
He's awesome...But i'm still sticking to the freaky fish guy....Mako 
Tho this is how villain arc's should be written
He is easily the most creepy character from the game. I hope they will use him more often.

I like Mako because he is such a savage, but there is always a reason for his killings. Crosscut has a totally different logic base, he kills with the same disregard as changing socks.

I haven't done any of the new stuff yet. But I know where I will start now.
For hero stories, you can't have a good story w/o a great bad guy.
You'll want to start villain side then. The hero stories don't have good villains, if you want to experience Crosscut and friends you need to play through the villain stories. Funny how that works huh?
Yeah, Crosscut was great. Best character out of the whole Dr. Graves arc.
He also reminds me a little bit of the Vahzilok, which is a good thing as I also heartily enjoy them.
