>Are they able to have their own accounts/avatars on one system ?

Yes.

>Is 4g speeds enough to get the online version ?

Couldn’t say, but probably.

>Is the disk option better ?

In my opinion yes because it allows you to have options. You’re not committed to only downloading games. Having the option of either is great. It also allows you to resell a game if you don’t want it anymore.

>I'm am totally clueless as back in my day you got a physical chip for storage and could store many versions of the game on each chip or have different chips each .

Definitely not the case anymore. Everything is on a big storage system built into the console.

>Thanks for Any tips and advice ye can offer.

Both Xbox and PlayStation have subscription services that allow you to download a library of games at will as long as you are paying for the service. This can be a good way to offer a lot of games to play without buying hundreds of games.

They also both require an online subscription to play any game that isn’t free. And every month there are games offered to download and keep, also only playable while the subscription is active. So make sure they at least add those games to their library so they can be played if they want to.

Oh and if this isn’t already common knowledge, be very aware of monetary systems in certain games. A game like Fortnite will offer a seasonal pass that can be leveled up, and rewards are given at each level. On top of that there’s a store that rotates stock daily that offers skins and items for real money. Many games offer this stuff and you may find your kids asking you constantly for money to get this stuff. Or they might be finding ways to buy it without your knowledge. I don’t know your kids, but just take this as a warning that some games, even free ones can end up being an endless pit of buy buy buy more more more.

I am glad I made the switch. Depending on what kind of setup you get, the games will run much better, and, personally, playing with keyboard and mouse feels better than the analog sticks of a controller. Plus to potential for modding, which could make games like Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls series loads more fun.

Steam also have sales throughout the year that allow me to get 3-5 solid games typically under $50-$75, per sale period. Definitely would recommend since you also have an interest in editing and stuff; you’ll be able to find some really good programs. Hope this helps

Personally I don't care/mind. I've been in situations where a guy I happen to be playing with would have a female character but I never gave it much thought as it really doesn't seem like a significant thing in any way. It's fine to play as whatever character you feel comfy/happy playing with.

Also despite being a girl, I also tend to choose male characters to play as whenever it's possible so it would be quite silly and hypocritical of me to have an issue when it's the other way around :)

Bethesda Game Studios is a developer known for the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games and the upcoming Starfield.

Bethesda Softworks is a publisher who publishes games from Bethesda Game Works and other developers, including games like the Dishonored series, the new Doom and Wolfenstein games, Deathloop, Prey, and Ghostwire: Tokyo.

It sounds like your complaints about Bethesda are actually about Bethesda Game Studios which was not involved in Hi-Fi Rush.

It wasn't developed by Bethesda. It was published by them. Skyrim, Fallout, Starfield, are made by Bethesda. In this case it was Tango Gameworks, the studio of Shinji Mikami, and Bethesda just distributed it on a commercial level.
