Why have so many empty containers interactive in the first place? As noted, they're a distraction.
Because they are interact-able objects - you can pick them up, move them, stand on them, throw them, out something inside and throw them.
Just make them non-lootable please. Move the barrels, pick them up, throw them sure. But if there's nothing inside I don't want to have to check.
if they insist on keeping them at least give some form of auto or area loot and drastically decrease the amount of interactable bookshelves, potion shelves, cupboards and candles. Most of them do not serve a single purpose. The dipping mechanic can just as well be done when you are in the vicinity of a flame source that is otherwise not interactable. It is just too much clutter.
Oh yes pls less bookshelves, especially when each row of a bookshelf is individually lootable...
