(Was: Pigs and Parsnips. New information in comments below.)

This is in the bug forum and not the quest discussions (apart from the fact that CMs never read the quest forums anyhow), because the behavior has changed and I sure hope it's a bug.

The quest "I was a lot of things ..." has always been a royal pain, but the two times before I did it, I did not notice such aggro behavior from the felboars. This time, I noticed that if I tried to pull the flayers away from the boars - or, in fact, engaged the flayers in combat AT ALL when they had already started a fight with a boar - that the boar involved in the fight would then aggro me. Always.

Since pulling the flayer - after which the pig in the fight follows - was essentially the only way to "lead" the pigs anywhere near the tubers, it's possible you changed this behavior deliberately, thus forcing players to wait until the random circumstances of "pig near enough to tuber to call" aligned. In which case you are sadists. (This was already probably the most annoying quest in the game. Do you have some secret reason to discourage people from doing the Oronok chain?)

I prefer, charitably, to think it is a bug.
