Bags of Holding

There are 18 (!!) BoHs in BG:EE!! This tells me they must be being used as teasure, loot drops, or a way to get enchanted weapons in the Pits (since Baeloth's merchants don't sell enchanted weapons... at least not at low levels).
Is there a BoH that is generic, that is, with no treasure in it? If so, would you tell me the item code? Thanks!

One would expect that in 2012, after decades of complaining, game developers would have already realized that few inventory slots DON'T add to an RPG fun, challenge or whatever. One thing I definitely expected on BGEE was a much increased inventory space. Being the case I find absolutely NO value in so few inventory slots, I always CLUA in a BoH.
That said, weight considerations are a more interesting mechanism as far as roleplay is concern. That I do respect. It might (and should) be a concern to players who wish for a more elaborate roleplay experience. For which reason CLUA in a BoH is out of the question. Inventory slots however are (within reason) entirely arbitrary and highly debatable.
If your character only has 15 in game, he'll be able to carry his own armor, but won't be able to carry thousands of swords on him. You'll have to make choices of what you will take with you, and what you will not. Especially in the middle of a dungeon.
If you put all the items in the bag, you loose this aspect because all the swords you have gathered will go inside and won't have any weight at all.
In TOB this is less a problem, because with the belts, epic items and such, most of your characters will have epic strength and can carry almost everything.
And such, bags of holding are great magical items that are very unlikely to be found by the first wannabe adventurer behind the wall of a farm they have just visited.
PS : I'm always in for the cheese, but only when they are allowed by the game's rules (ie : hidden objects in trees or such, pickpocketables scimitars, ...). Cheese but no cheats ;-)

For those of us that have been playing this game off and on for the past 14 years, I think that it's acceptable for us to do anything that increases the replayability of the game.
I'm not suggesting that a BoH should be thrown into the game proper. I'm suggesting that it is perfectly acceptable to mod in a BoH if you've played the game 1,000 times and don't need the inventory management experience again.
And I must confess that during my many playthroughs of this game, I have dreamed sometimes of this bag (which could not exist since it was with Vanilla BG not a tutu or BGT).
As for the rest of the items I have a room at the FAI that I use as my personal room to store all my goodies I have to hoard and all NPCs I do not use are gathered around in the bar for easy access (not that I change my team up ever). Really, I could do the same for my scrolls but I feel that little pieces of paper shouldn't take up every inch of someone's back pack and when she hits level I can pop all the scrolls into her book and then rid myself of the case (although I will probably keep it for the story scrolls).
You don't need it.
Bags of Holding are for good wholesome educational fun when placed inside Portable Holes, and vice versa. They're not meant to be used for holding mundane items like sheafs of halberds. That's just silly.
Besides, the dwarf found another use for your Bag. You'll never get that smell out.
