To be fair tho there were a looot of lootable chests, drawers, boxes, desks, barrels, etc in BG 1&2 that had nothing interesting in them. Do you have the enhanced editions on steam? I played them recently and if you make a point in actually looting everything you spend a lot of time looting stuff like a regular arrow, a dagger, a piece of coal, and so on. Stuff that even if you can sell it is worth so little gold/weight that its not worth draggong along.
