can i ask which routes are more fun?
its my 1st time playing and im wondering if slave or love route is more fun.. how diffeent would the scenes be?
do slave route have bdsm? if yes, then i already know i will pref love routes xd
Long story short: Play both routes all the way through. All love one time, all slave another time. It's worth noting that there's a grand total of TWO canon women who are exclusive to the slave routes (Ginger and Eska in book 4), but several who are exclusive to the love routes (Smellerbee, the rich girls from Ba Sing Se, Kuvira, Opal, Suyin, Ikki, older Jinora (for the moment), and Izumi)
There's no mandatory bdsm in any route.
As for how different, the changes get more intense with each book. Book 1? It's just dialogue, presumably cuz MITY was just starting. Book 2? Notable changes since you're either a random thief (Slave) or Zuko (love). Along with whether you want to regularly have sex with Ty Lee (Slave) or Mai (Love). Book 3? More notable changes, such as the maze layout and Toph's story. Book 4? Love route takes place in season 4 of Korra and you control a random airbender; Slave route takes place in season 1 and you control Tenzin.
Massive changes between them.
On an unrelated note, it was only on my 2nd or 3rd playthrough of Love (including epilogue) that I realized you have sex with Pema's mother in book 3. And if you go pure love route, Tenzin being a nasty drill sergeant is a touch funny since you have sex with his: Grandmother, mother, mother-in-law, wife, ex, sister, sister-in-law, student, and all three of his daughters (optional). You've fucked literally every woman in his life.
And it's really great that you get to hug Iroh in book 4.
