I do, but I put most of my time into gameplay and builds. I follow a lot of Skyrim Youtube channels, one of them is really great on specific landscapes. He has a serie called "curating curious curiosity" which takes you around to speculate on special things found throughout the holds.
Why does it suck? Are the Dragons too hard to defeat? Are there too many of them? Is it too long to bring them down? I have so much fun fighting Dragons: the strategy must be adapted to every tiny situation.
I get burned out too, but I always come back when I feel better! Shadow of Mordor is great but it takes time to get the urge to replay, too! Have you seen the trailer for Shadow of War?
I can't wait for that game! I loved Shadow of Mordor, even if the replay factor was low. I don't care for a game like this: I want to explore everything under 100 hours. I did and was ecstatic! Celebrimbor, I will avenge your memory!

Black Star is really not complicated. You must have it in your inventory. You must cast "soul trap" on your enemy before he dies (preferably a humanoid for a dark soul). The soul will be absorbed by the Black Star. If you have done everything right, you will see the item change: it will become Black Star (1). That means you have a soul in there.

As for Xenoverse, I have heard good things. Care to provide your own impressions? I might try it. Last thing: always keep your stories coming. This thread is here for that, we are all big fans of Skyrim!

Just go to an enchanting table and enchant an item. In the "soul gem" menu of the table, Black Star should be available. Using it will remove the soul and you are ready to go harvest another soul.
Of course! As long as you have the empty Black Star in your inventory, an active soul trap spell / device (like your bow) and no other empty black soul gem, you are sure to absorb a dark soul into the Black Star.

By the way, I highly recommend the album Blackstar from the legendary David Bowie. My favorite album in the last 2 years, featuring my favorite guitarist of all time:

Pretty much this. Let's say you put resist magic enchantment. With a greater gem, you'll get 6% resist. With any black soul gem filled with a dark soul (Black Star included), you would get 8%. So yeah, more pricey and more useful. 2% difference might seem small but over the course of a playthrough where you have absorbed 2% of all magic, it's a big number.

As for the exact reason the Black Star did not work, there are plenty. Maybe your bow's enchantment is depleted! Make sure the white line is filled like this:
If it's empty, you need to refill it with a soul gem. Depending on your button configuration, it should be a button you use for something else too. If you have the default button config, you have a prompt on screen, don't worry.
If it's something else, try again: I'm sure it will work. I fill soul gems for breakfast when I need to upgrade my items. I bring the Black Star and a pocket full of black soul gems and I go raid a fort somewhere.
I favor legionnaires' souls but Stomrcloaks' are tasty, too!
But yeah I tend to be lazy and not even bother. Then I get to the point where I used all my souls and need to purchase a filled gem just to refill my bow (which will then be used to refill empty gems, meh.).
While I entirely support that approach, I found Fallout to be better suited for a "no fast-travel" playthrough. If you're a thief and want to upgrade the guild merchants, it's quite a hassle to finish 5 missions in every city with no fast travel...
