Has anyone else bought Titan Quest?

[DeeBye]

The Tetris inventory and very limited inventory annoyed me though.

There is a patch for the full game that addresses the inventory stack thing, and later on in the game storage bags are earned through quests. Like D2, you'll never have enough storage for all the stuff you find.

Not really know how valuable gold would be (would it be pointless to try and horde gold or do you want every piece you can get to buy stuff) I went the route of pick everything up and sell it.

Money can be important because later on vendors sell things worth buying, and there are Mystics that will allow you to buy back spent skill points for gold. Potions also get incredibly expensive in higher difficulties.

I had some excitement at the Greek setting, the ability to help tie into some of the stories of that mythos. So far I've heard some doofus talk about Hekulese (Hercules) but I never got put into one of those adventures or stories.

Later on in Greece you'll battle Gorgons (including Medusa), a Cyclops, and the Minotaur in Minos' Labyrinth. After Greece you travel to Egypt and visit places like Memphis, the Giza plateau (including the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid). Tying various mythologies into a game like this is pretty neat, in that everyone has at least a passing familiarity with the stories and creatures.
