I found healing potions in a barrel a few times, just as I sorely needed it. Now I've been conditioned to check every barrel. Just in case.
At least it's not as bad as in Divinity, where Lucky Charm meant you wanted to literally open every interactible container in the game for that sweet dopamine hit of a random epic or legendary item.

I'm enjoying my time playing Crate Inspector Simulator 2023.
By the end of Act II I’ve finally been able to drop this looting habit. I’ve already got about 30k gold that I never spend so I probably don’t need to loot everything in sight anymore.
You find yourself needing to check every last crate, barrel, etc., but do you find yourself needing to TAKE every last crate, barrel, etc.? Welcome to my new hell. I know I will take every rotten carrot, but why can't I take the rotting basket I found it in? Why can I only take some vases?
I have a chest at camp full of just chests.

Has it ever been worth it? I've just restarted as the Dark Urge having gotten most of the way through Act 1 and I'm skipping so much of that pointless looting now.

Schrödinger's rotten basket: The magic thingamajig you didn't know you needed could be in the next container but you won't know for sure unless you look and find the rotten carrot.
I found a really sweet pointy wizard hat in one. Now I open everything I see.

If it makes it any better at all, I found out at 1am yesterday that I can save before each and every dialogue option. And so many of them are so worth seeing that I can't stop.
Particularly with Astarion, since he's such a fabulous drama queen about everything that happens to him. I could be nice and curry favor with hands-down my most useful teammate like I actually want to do OR I could watch him throw a giant angry tantrum at me for "ruining his fun all the time" and demand to know whether I have "some sort of condition." I don't necessarily want the negative points on my file, but I know which one's funnier.

Why do I keep seeing you
The "search area" function is super useful for getting every last box, barrel, bag and rack.
And quite often, you are rewarded with super special stuff that the game gives no fanfare for, in a random box that wasn't the dungeon reward chest. Make sure to try and "use" those random "junk" items. Some of them are super powerful, unique tools.
