Speaking as a PvE Argonian Magicka DK Tank, I'd much rather have the current potion-based racial than a stealth-based one.

Stealth would bring precisely nothing to my character. whereas the potion boosts are really nice.

@Miszou isn't a potion boost nice for all classes in general? So why they say Argonians are bad? Why must we min max stat wise instead of using potions? Which I know would get expensive.

From a game mechanics perspective (especially tanking) I completely agree with your point. From a lore perspective, however I can't seem to ignore that Argonians should have some bonus to stealth. It would be nice if ZOS could establish a happy middle ground.

I like the idea of Argonians having a Stealthy-like trait. I'd get rid of the crit damage bonus from stealth, and perhaps offer them greater stealth detection range and faster movement speed from stealth, if you go this route. I think it should be unique to the Bosmer and Khajiit.

This is a great idea to differentiate from Bosmer and Khajiit. Maybe even something specific to Argonian guerrilla warfare tactics that introduces team-like mechanics.

Guerrilla Stealth:
- Reduces your detection radius in stealth by 1/2/3 meters.
- Increased damage from stealth when 3 or more Argonians are within 50 meters of each other.

rather have the potion passive. you won't be able yo use that passive in PvE and in PvP you probaby won't have mutch use for it aswell

I can see the argument for usefulness in the current state of the game - to a certain extent, but I'm more concerned with lore accuracy. If a group of, let's say, three to seven Argonians are rolling together in PVE or PVP and attacking from stealth (as a small guerrilla warfare unit), I think they should receive a substantial enough bonus to damage because it fits so beautifully with Elder Scrolls lore.

lore serves the game, not other way around...and if we went by lore for everything every race should have 100 passives.

just use the "zodiac system" at char creation to allow people to pick their own non lore breaking passives and thats it..

flat % in stam/mag/hp does not break any lore barriers...

Shalidor is a Arch-Mage and a freaking Nord..dont you think he has 10% more magicka? sure he does, he is OG master wizard lol
