Is sneaking like skyrim where you gain more experience in sneaking or do you gain the experience through the passives only?

✭✭Every character can sneak from the beginning. There is no sneak skill, your detection area is only influenced by your armour and racial passives and the bonus damage depends on the type of your weapon,your armour and racial passives.0 -
OzJohnD✭✭✭✭no, sneaking in ESO does not give sneak XP ... its a game mechanic, not a skill like in SkyrimEveryone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

Ranique✭✭✭✭the passive skilline is different then other elder scrolls games. Legerdemain is a combination of thief-skills and it levels through gained xp when pickpocketing, lockpicking or stealing. So sneaking itself does nothing. Personally I prefer it. sneaking itself is not rewarding or giving you any advantage. It is what you do with the situations when stealthed. That can be to make a critical hit, feed (as a vampire) or steal something. That is why I think it is good that sneaking alone isn't rewarded.
However, by stealing, pickpocketing and lockpicking you can unlock passives that improves your sneaking. So it is not through the passive you gain experience, but through the action you take when sneaking.Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
