Hi there You can ignore the faction and guild storylines in ESO too, you don't have to do any of them if you don't want to. You can RP a raw recruit who hunted the beasts around his home a bit, then join cyrodill and never do any guild or alliance questlines.So, I have a undying love for the Ranger and Mage archetype, however, I just can't for the life of me decide on which I want to go. In the singleplayer TES games you can choose to ignore faction questlines that you don't belong, such as a Mage ignoring the fighters guild or a Warrior ignoring the mages guild, but in ESO, this isn't exactly the case, I hope I am not the only one that feels weird doing the mages guild with a guy in full leather armor and dual wielding and everyone around him says that he is a promising mage...

This improves diversity. Somehow.

I don't know who did spread this misinformation (certainly did not play all TES games...), but Bosmer are always characterized by being agile, nimble, and described as the best archers in Tamriel. That is their main attribute and not being a furtive and stealth race, though in some games (not always), they had bonus in stealth. Also, having a better stealth detection radius (what they have now) favor steal and thievery, if you want to justify the right of the theft.
In TES games the most proeminent race in the art of the thief was and is always the Khajiit and they always were described as such in other games.
Lol, people really need to stop complaining and play other TES games.

Bomser have always been described as archers and thieves. Not just archers, but thieves as well. They always had some sort of stealth bonus, usually the best until Skyrim where Khajiit skills were trimmed down and since each race only had one major bonus, Bosmer got bows and Khajiit had stealth.
A better stealth detection radius does not favor being a thief in any way. In game, no NPC is ever stealthed (especially not guards) so it doesn't help there at all. And in lore it makes no sense either. A race with no natural predilection for stealth but keen eyesight isn't going to develop much of a Right of the Theft because everyone would always be caught. Unless they broke into unoccupied houses (which ESO doesn't have) and then it doesn't matter how good your stealth detect is because there's no one to detect.
As to the best thief race, Khajiit make good thieves on account of their agility and acrobatics (which was what they had the highest bonuses in until Skyrim removed those stat/skills). Bosmer, while still agile (but less than Khajiit), were always better at being stealthy.
What's worse, is that in previous , it's always been the Khajiit who got bonuses to vision related things.
For whatever reason, between Bosmer and Khajiit, it's the elf race that can see better, is more agile, and always lands on its feet, not the cat race.
Argonians have always been much better thieves than Bosmers, who in turn are much better assassins in every single TES game. It's not a big deal imho.
On the other hand Khajiits are the best thieves in all TES history
For a brief time the Colovian armies used Wood Elf archers, as in the War of Rihad two years past. The Bosmer proved to be too undisciplined and prone to desertion for further use. They would sometimes walk into the shade of a single tree and vanish. Their forest-coupling skills are remarkable. The title of their most famous poem, the Meh Ayleidion, means "The One Thousand Benefits of Hiding."

Just check out the TES uesp website.
In Arena and Daggerfall both were known for their thieving skills and both get +10 to Agility in Daggerfall.
In Morrowind, the Bosmer get a +10 to sneak and Khajiit get +5 and both have 50 in agility.
In Oblivion both again have 50 in agility and Bosmer +10 in sneak and Khajiit +5.
Skyrim gives the Bosmer +5 to sneak and Khajiit +10 with both being described as good thieves.
Take from a that what you want...but Bosmer should be at least comparable to the Khajiit in stealth.

Khajiit just more advanced in acrobatics and have other feline racial gifts, including some moon magic that helps them not only in sneaky roles, but also makes them a good fighters and warriors. Also, there is no monopoly in bow using, every race have bows.
