If it is scaled then i imagine chests with harder locks will have better loot.

I think Kairo said in some interview that it is exactly like this.
"Expensive looking" (was the expression he used) chests will
have valuable random stuff in them. Can't find a link atm.

I can't say that from his phrasing (or the crappy english translation of
the interview) I got a hint that specific loot is still on (except from quest
related ofcourse).
