Tixx is evil?
I thought it was kind of dark turning the Skritt into toys. Although it could just be temporary like the tonics (or if not maybe we should stop drinking the tonics less we suffer a similar fate, heh).
Also, his face on the loading screen DOES look genuinely evil. You could be onto something.

I had a feeling from the beginning. He’s repeatedly making mistakes with his toys. Maybe he’s using us as test subjects until he builds a toy that can actually defeat us?
I have no idea, but I agree. Something’s going on!
oh he’s definitely evil; anyone who designed those freakish princess dolls must be.

A cluster munition is a form of air-dropped or ground-launched explosive weapon that releases or ejects smaller submunitions.
I think a box full of princess dolls qualifies ergo Tixx is not only evil but in breach of several UN resolutions.
I don’t think it’s tixx, so much as it is toxx. if you talk to toxx, she will mention “toy liberation movement” then cover it up. She seems to be a GLaDOS to tixx’s cave Johnson
‘Wintersday went splat. Giant clanker lied to us.’
“giant clanker” who sounds more like that, the asura that’s(regrettably) the same size as the skritt in question, or the giant golem?
Nah. Tixx isn’t evil, he’s just really… nonchalant. I mean, Toxx has acted up three times now, and he’s still not considering scrapping her.
Toxx is the ‘evil’ one, and it’s less evil and more misguided.
I mean, maybe it’s just the voice actor overdoing it, but Tixx really does sound creepy. Some of the lines almost imply that the character is getting a sexual thrill from inventing, which is not something you see from a benevolent Santa Claus figure. Also, there was a dev post awhile back that hinted that we might see a non-Asura Toymaker in the future.
There have been zero twists in the game’s plot so far, so I won’t be surprised if it really is just Toxx being evil. However, Tixx seems kinda sketchy either way.
Sorry for the double post, but today I overheard a new line while I was up in Tixx’s workshop hunting for stray dolls. It’s not one of the instance-wide shouts. You have to actually be near him to hear it.
“Making toys for mucus-nosed spawn. . . . Every inventor’s dream.”
Yeah. He’s evil.
I thought the asura saying that was that other guy. Gruff or Grup or something like that.
I wouldn’t necessarily call Tixx evil, but I do think that his indifference to the chaos he could cause is certainly coming close to crossing the line if not already over it.
He’s obviously aware the toys are malfunctioning – regardless of why they are – and he’s still planning to distribute them to the children of Tyria? He realizes that his toys are causing mayhem that heavily armed adults have to struggle to contain, and he not only thinks these make appropriate Wintersday gifts but is planning to create more toys with these ones already so haywire?
I think he’s crazy rather than malicious, but I also think he’s incredibly dangerous. Regardless of whether it was Toxx alone who was creating the havoc, Tixx is the one perpetuating it and making it spread rather than shutting it down and containing it.
He’s Asura, they love experimenting and seeing how their experiments and inventions work out. What better test than to deliver malfunctioning toys around Tyria?
