I thought that once I freed up The Castle he would chill out a bit.  Oh no... 
 
*sigh*

The only time he chills out is if you stay away from him.

Does Valentine give out side quests?
In case you don't know it there is a bulletin board in Diamond City that gives out missions. No caps from the city however but it is a lead. Also talk to the settlement population as they usually have something.

He ran out of missions for me finally or else he's still mad because I banished him to The Castle. I am busy searching for more side missions and not doing very good at it. Cait took it well when I broke up with her. Piper is really boring and the 'Story of the Century' mission was just an interview. IDK if I even got any XP from that. I have maybe 5 or 6 quests left and then the game is finished. I'll have to pick a side pretty soon.

In a pig's eye. Watch your 6 flyboy. LOL

I picked up a mission from Valentine and I don't need him as a companion either. I haven't actually gone out and physically started it yet. I have a few other missions to do first.
 
In regards to you, Curie and the Doctor, try romancing the Doctor. LOL
 
I think you need to hire some "Triggermen" as your bodyguards considering the in game life you lead Casanova. LOL

So, apparently 128(?) (or is it 117?) damage rifle scoped damage does not do that big of an impact on an enemy from far away. So, I took my bolt rifle that adds 10 energy damage with .308 rounds (.50 is more scarce than .308), with a regular "dot", and then I took my double shot bolt rifle and added the .50 rounds with an attached scope. That made a huge impressive change, and now, from a far distance, I do almost instant kills from such a great distance.
 
I put the difficulty on very hard, and it definitely adds a challenge. You definitely want to make sure you head shot them before they get up close. Definitely getting swarmed by those giant mosquitos adds a real challenge now.
 
Has anyone shot at a mini nuke being held by a super mutant? Good times...

Yes once you reach max affection with him he gives you a quest that has to do with events from the cops memories he got on events that transpired before the war. He also gives out two quest with case logs you must manually pick up, only pick up one case log at a time sometimes picking up both will bug one of them out. Not going to say more than that.

I also banished him to The Castle.   Yet that still doesn't stop him from assigning more crap.   Well between him and overhearing the stuff that pops up on that annoying Minuteman Radio that constantly plays at The Castle.  Well, until you shut it off. 
 
I thought I was finished with Garvey missions, because I had dropped by to get my XP for several "handholding" missions and he hadn't said a single thing except "good job" and likewise.   Well apparently my luck ran out.   It would seem that another settlement is threatened by something... Again.     And once again the "threat" is on the other side of the map.  So how were they threatened in the first place?  And seriously, they all have guns and between the various turrets at that settlement, nothing is getting too close. 
 
There are now a couple of mods out that shuts him up.  I think it's time to use one.

To the subzero-guy-user (rofl . I forgot your username)... To answer your questions, yes. Don't let people that are discouraging you not to play fallout 4 take your enjoyment away from fallout4. It's a good game. Did Bethesda try a new "innovation"? Yes. (Not really sure I would call it an innovation though, probably more half-assed than an innovation.) Did it work? (Innovation no, half-assed yes. haha) but that doesn't mean you will not have fun. It's good. Just buy it. You won't regret it.
 
 
It looks good at 1080P too.

This is actually a very accurate way to describe Fallout 4.  Said half-assed "innovation" would refer to its half-assed attempt at cinematic storytelling, included to try and capture the attention of all the Witcher 3 fans out there.  It captured their attention alright, and seems to have pleased very few in this aspect.  It does have less role-playing than Fallout 3, but far better gameplay mechanics and the most authentic open world level design ever.

You're thinking of BF3PRO.
 
Wait for the game to go on sale. 
 
Or if you're really patient, wait for them to release all the DLC's and then get the GOTY or whatever they call and have everything at once.  And on sale.   That's what I did with Skyrim.  I didn't get the game till all the DLC's were out and most of the bugs corrected by the modders.  
 

 
Contrary to popular belief most of the bugs are fixed by official patches.  With Fallout 4 however those patches are taking a while...

Yes, thank you sir. I saw his thread, which got locked, and he was asking some questions about Fallout 4. You have a good point about waiting for the GOTY edition to come out, and like you said, will probably have the DLC content included on that anyway. Meanwhile, we'll let Bethesda milk in their money when the DLC comes out, and you know a lot of people will still buy it while they wait for the next ES to come out. I know I will, because I want to know what they are going to add to this game. I played through Fallout 4. And as much as I hate to say this, I'm not want to start over on my character, and redo the whole game over again.

Nick Valentine was extremely boring so I am traveling with Curie again. The doctor is still ignoring me so I guess I have to travel some more with Curie. Curie is good in combat. She gets between me and any granades and is dead on with her weapons. I didn't know she had it in her to be honest. I thought Curie was a scientist not an assassin.

 Do you know what Curie has for carry weight? Also, does she have a high hit point count? Dog Meat is really getting me in the shoot and stab mood with him. But then he got worse when I bought that other dog LOL.

Ya I just love how he calls you the general, but he's giving you orders...

 He's trying to be PC and not hurt your feelings. LOL

I just got back from a situation that is like yours. Got the warning and it was on the other side of the map. Fast traveled to that settlement and landed right in the middle of the Gunners and was immediately knocked down. About 5 seconds later I was dead. Gunners are nasty and tough in general but when in a large pack, ouch. The second time around was the same landing but I didn't stop running. I ran into the settlement, stimpacked  and let the auto defense take over. That was a tough fight. Missiles, lasers and bullets all over the place. This settlement has almost a 200% defense and I have to question weather those units that are extremely high were inactive due to their distance (height wise) from the action.
 
From what I noticed from that battle is that the Gunners must be hurting for people because I saw a lot of recruits in this one where I never saw them before. LOL

From what I heard about the patching was from Skyrim which also applies here. The reason for the delays are due to checking out the patches without doing any damage to the rest of the game. According to them it takes a while.
