Yes. Ease of use items are always nice. Is it op in BGEE? I dont think so.
In my early gaming days, I always console in a "mobile merchant" every time I need to store my stuff. If I need to retrieve the items later, I pay the merchant a "storage fee".
Hmmm, if you are "importing" the bag so you can carry more loot to sell, why don't you just get the items you want and skip the loot?
"Loot" is a generalized term. It's actually rather useful for things like ankheg shells when clearing out the farm map.
The ankheg shells are heavy.
You are a wannabe adventurer.
you do not find a magic items at the next corner of the farm.
You have to deal with the fact that you are not strong enough to carry everything back to the merchant.
The have added the bag of holding in BG2 because there are much more dungeons where you might be stuck if you cannot bring back more item (remember that you find the bag in Spellhold's dungeon and there is no merchant around).
So yes, that's the point of having a great strength, even for non fighter characters.
Your mage cannot bring back as much swords and heavy armors as your fighters, sorry.

I presume when BG2:EE is complete the combined BG1:EE and BG2:EE will be called BG:EE? :P
There is no bag of holding to find in BG:EE. You can however cluaconsole one in if you want to.
CLUAConsole:CreateItem("bag31")
if you have the console activated and want to use it that is
