Empty containers IS GOOD. Less junk items, more atmospheric. Very stupid to enter a room to have every single containers with items inside. Or just one single container with everything inside.
If its a waste of time go play a loot game like diablo.
Man I really wish Larian was a smaller studio...more and more comments like this really shows the general gamers expections : controller/ console support and UI, more more more loot, want more action with BIG NUMBERS NOW, multiplayer this multiplayer that, super easy to understand rules, tutorials everywhere, dont want to READ, uuuh mostly caucasian characters so Larian is racist....etc...
I completly understand the retro game craze now lol.
It's pretty arrogant of you to make assumptions about people like this.
I am a very old school gamer. I am not anything like what you describe and I too hate all the empty containers. I understand this is sort of a "tradition / running joke" in a lot of computer RPGs but this is one tradition that needs to end. Have you ever played a table top d&d game where every room you enter and every street you walk down is filled with dozens of empty barrels, cupboards, vases, bookshelves (with shelves that need to each be opened individually), bags, and crates and your DM makes you open each of them one at a time, over and over and over only to say "That one is empty" each time. Except that every once in awhile there is actually something good in there, just enough to make you keep checking? I think any reasonable DM would just say, "You open all the crates and don't find anything." Oh and of course there is no consequence for rummaging through every container that you come across on every street and in every building even though none of them belong to you? Where is the logic in having some random barrel on a street corner have a magic weapon or a pile of gold, not locked, just waiting for someone to come along and take it with no consequence because it doesn't belong to anyone and is just there waiting for the player to find it?
You say it's stupid to have every container with items inside or one container with everything inside as if those are the only two options. Isn't there a middle ground there? People are not asking for one container per room, just a few less per area which is a very fair point.
