✭Assuming you mean "immunity", you got it wrong.
Argonians should be immune to poison. Everywhere in the game, they tell you they eat poison for breakfast, that everything in Black Marsh is toxic for everyone else and so on. Then again, the lore says they are ALSO immune to disease, but it's not as obvious in the game, so if they were to keep only one imunity, it should be poison.
As for the Bosmers, there are quests in Grahtwood where you can obviously notice they are NOT immune to poison. Specifically, a tribe that was going to be butchered ate slow poison, so their killers would die of pisoning when eating them. Which means they are not immune to poison. Makes more sense that they'd be immune to disease anyway, what with them eating suspicious meats of all sorts.16 -

EDIT: ah I get it now, concussion is from electric shock, so fur is insulating effect on electricity.

I dont think cats or furry animals especially resilient to concussion? where does this come from?Edited by Jayman1000 on August 24, 2019 5:49PM0 -

No they are not immune, just resistant. Green venom tongue ate poisons to get an increased resistance and this turned his tongue green. Amusingly an Argonian in Elsweyr was able to help the Khajiit in group to safety because the the resistance as he became less sick.Assuming you mean "immunity", you got it wrong.

Immunity against poison would be idiotic OP as loads of the stamina attacks does poison damage.
But yes no idea why they did not give the Bosmer disease resistance and the Argonian poison. Tweak the numbers as needed.
Correction, you are immune to the status effect but only resistant to the damage.
For shock I would pick Khajiit, they pick up plenty of static electricity with their fur anyway.
You can charge up cats with static electricity rubbing stuff like an balloon against their fur.

But seriously, orcs would come closest I guess, as they are supposed to be the “tank-y” race. So let’s just go with nords, because when it come to eso and lore anything goes I guess.2 -

GusTheWizard✭✭✭✭Bretons get 2310 Spell Resistance when They’re Burning, Chilled, or Concussed.
Concussion just makes you do more damage while your target is concussed so that’s kinda like what the other races get.Edited by GusTheWizard on August 24, 2019 10:55PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭In the lore, Shock/Concussion Resistance would be most associated with Nord (see passives in ES3). However Nords are known more for their resistance to Frost, so it makes sense for that to be chosen if the devs did not want them to have both immunities for balance reasons.
Breton and Orc would be the next best options by lore, since both have some resistance to magic in previous games (which includes Shock). I once suggested that Orc be given this immunity, but that was part of a larger plan to shift some passives around for lore and balance. In the current state of race balance, I don’t believe Orc or Breton need any more bonuses.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭As others pointed out, it's because in the lore, none of the races have resistances to shock damage and the game works in such a way that gaining resistance to anything also prevents you from getting that status effect applied to you through regular means.
Argonians are immune to the diseased status effect, which is major defile but only applied by disease damage. They are not immune to major defile applied through other means.
Bosmer are immune to the dot the poisoned effect applies etc.
Since there is no shock resistant race, there is no immunity to the concussion effect.
The Maormer would be the most likely to get that bonus should they ever become playable.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.2 -
