Nelacar says that if he fixes Azura's Star it will only accept Black Souls.

Is this true? I heard that it would take any soul. Wearas Azura's Star would not.


???

It takes any soul.

Takes all souls. Human or otherwise. Azura's only takes creatures, no human souls. I pref the Azura star, over the black but thats just me. Favor the Daedric over the mortal.

There is not a shortage of black soul gems or souls in the game, sitting on 8 empty black souls, and 5 black souls waiting for use, all grand. And another 6 regular grand souls waiting as well.

Edit x2
Also I would expect a bonus for using a black soul over a creature/undead etc. Nope.

If Nelacar 'fixes' it, it will only take black (human) souls. If you return it to azura it will take white (non-human) souls.

Edit: Hmm, apparently the game lied to me. I'm sad now

It's supposed to only take black souls if you have Nelacar fix it, but it's apparently a bug.

I typically take it back to Azura. None of my characters dig necromancers or any of their shenannigans.

That's why I'm asking.

Takes all souls.

Azuras only takes white. Anything but human,

That's what I heard.

Now it becomes a question of ... If it is a bug and if it gets fixed then the Black Star choice would be screwed for those players. If it is NOT a bug (because I hear any black soul gem accepts ALL souls) then the choice is a good one.

I see it a moral choice. As all daedric quests
pick one, pick the item. you will serve that daedric prince/god/demon anyways

I saw no consequence going black the first time around, this time I'll go azura's.. simply because I want a good character and my supply of gold is virtually unlimited, so I can afford to just buy the grand soul filled soul gems at 850 each with the 28% better prices necklace on.

I heard black star is better to go, your always killing Humanoids as it is.
