Overall, I find NV far more compelling in what it has to offer over Diamond City. I would say the only exception being Tenpenny Tower that deals with actual conflict and even has a quest that can change the settlement drastically. All settlements with a significance that only revolves around these novelty locations they live in, but no amount of depth in what goes on within these settings. A settlement that takes place near an nuclear warhead, a settlement that takes place in an old hotel, a settlement that takes place on an old carrier, and now a settlement in an old baseball field. I see Diamond City within the same areas of quality as a lot of settlements in Fallout 3. New Vegas played a significant role in the plot and had plenty to show for it with the many conflicts revolving around the city that Diamond City overall lacks besides the paranoia behind the synths and the Institute and that are shared throughout the entire Commonwealth anyway. I found Diamond City rather underwhelming shortly upon arrival and I find New Vegas prevails over it for a lot of the reasons JHE has already mentioned.
