I kinda woke up wondering this today, and thought I'd ask RDRblr:

Is Arthur better father material than John?

Yes

No

Nuance

Remaining time: 6 days 15 hours

I know that Arthur is kinda whoever you make him to be, but I had the high honor version of him in mind. I was thinking about the way he interacts with Jack, and how his personality seems warmer than John's.

I know he wasn't all that present for the son he had back when he was much younger, but... if he was in a similar situation to John by the events of RDR2, and had a wife and child living with him in the gang, how would he do?

I’m of the opinion that Arthur’s warmth and presence with Jack is contingent on the fact that he’s acutely aware of all that he’s lost. I think without having taken on that grief, he’d be more present in the sense that I don’t see him running off on the gang for a year like John did — but that’d be out of loyalty to Dutch, first and foremost.

He says early on about John, “Running off on that kid is one thing, but there’s a code.” The implication, to me, is that he sees breaking the latter as the worse offense. He showed up for Isaac sporadically, which is how he reconciled not having to fully abandon him or the gang — but the gang was the clear priority.

He resents John on two counts: lacking the hindsight to know what he’s choosing to miss out on, and being audacious enough to choose himself before anyone else — something Arthur never felt he could do.
