At the risk of joining a pig in the mud, I just want to note that the suggestion has nothing to do with the Hand or the Embers being my favorite minor factions, and I have no idea how Boar came to that conclusion. In actuality these two factions are my least favorite factions in the game, being useless outside of auto-resolve except as cannon fodder, and until recently I would have preferred they were removed from the game. However, with player-led gangs now included in the base game, I feel that there is a place for these factions that fits both their lore and equipment and which would add flavor (and perhaps some additional challenge) to the current criminal/gang system.
