What is the best thing to do with Azura's star?

For utility, the Black Star is widely considered the best option because it traps powerful human (black) souls, which are always Grand, and often functions like a reusable Grand Soul Gem, superior to the standard Azura's Star (white) which only traps weaker creature (white) souls. However, choosing the Black Star means losing the chance to have Aranea Ienith as a follower and potentially roleplaying a darker path, while Azura's Star offers a "good" choice with a reliable, powerful white soul source.

Is it better to keep Azura's star or Black Star?

Black star is the best. Always guaranteed to give a grand soul and humans are infinitely more common than having to go out and get a mammoth or giant (or go all the way through a dungeon for a deathlord) just for a guaranteed grand soul. Black star is guaranteed to give you grand nearly every time you fight a human.

Is it better to bring the star to Aranea or Nelacar?

For gameplay, giving the star to Nelacar for the Black Star is generally better because it easily traps powerful human (grand) souls, while giving it to Aranea yields the standard Azura's Star (only non-human grand souls); however, choosing Aranea unlocks her as a powerful mage follower, making it a choice between utility (Black Star) and companionship (Aranea).

Aranea gives the classic star (creature souls), while Nelacar helps create the Black Star (human/creature souls, often preferred for enchanting).

Is it possible to 100% Skyrim in one playthrough?

Yes, you can 100% Skyrim (achievements, quests, discoveries) in a single playthrough, but it's a massive undertaking requiring hundreds of hours and careful choices, especially regarding faction conflicts and DLCs, with some even suggesting multiple focused sessions for the most thorough completion. While many players achieve 100% achievements on one character, it's a long journey (200-300+ hours) focusing on maxing skills, completing all quests/DLCs, and discovering everything, often involving some unique methods like transforming into a werewolf/vampire to get those specific perks.

Are Black Soul Gems better than grand?

A Black Soul Gem isn't inherently better in power than a Grand Soul Gem, as both hold the same maximum enchantment charge (a "Grand" soul), but Black Soul Gems are far more useful and strategic in games like Skyrim and Oblivion because they can trap humanoid (NPC) souls, which are easier to find and farm than the large creatures (like Mammoths) that drop Grand Souls. They are essentially a convenient way to get a Grand Soul whenever you need one.
