Should all races fit stamina and magicka?

For immediate naysayers, consider the wording:

Increases the higher of resources by 2000.

But I suppose that would also fit with health too...
I’m sure there are smarter people than me who would be able to word it better.

The point of this idea would be to cut out the problem some people see with racial passives and allow people to switch stamina/magicka focus.

In the case of other passives - I’m playing a Breton at the moment so please forgive the apparent bias:

Reduces the magicka or stamina cost of your abilities depending on which resource is higher, by 7%.

Before anyone brings it up, I wouldn’t include the resistances in this idea...homogenisation-phobia and all that.

But I’m personally neither here no there about it.

    Nope. We good. Use Khajiit or Dunmer for that.

    They do.

    But I think you mean something like... "Should all races be equally good at stamina and magica", and there I say thee nay!

    Elder Scrolls lore -Always- had some races being better at magica then others (Altmer, Breton) and some races being better at stamina then others (Redguard, Imperial), and some races being tough (Orc, Nord) and other races having other characteristics.

    At least these days those racial passives mean much less then they used to...

    IF anything, then I would want to see more passives, not racial ones, but selectable "backstory" ones... which DO allow people to further customize their character... like: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/442350/character-background-passives ;)
    But hey, no surprise I would post that, yes? ;)

    Some races need to be better at Stamina, and some need to be better at Magic. Different Races need to have different abilities.

    Make things too homogenous, and soon the only difference between characters will be the dye and motif on the armor.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    NO.

    Call me an RPer all you want, but an orc or Redguard should not make as decent of a mag DD as a Breton or Altmer. At least preserve SOME semblance of race identity.
