KoA: Reckoning - Answers from the Team, New Screen

There's a new set of Reckoning responses from the development team on their forums to community questions. Here's a sample:

Q: Is there lots of "hand-placed" loot, or is most of it randomly generated. How about chests, are their contents random or hand-placed? – By Fluent
A: Reckoning features extremely robust affix and loot table systems, which can randomly generate thousands of item and equipment variations. In keeping with the emphasis on hand-crafted content in Reckoning, we have also created hundreds of unique armor pieces, weapons, and items that you can discover! – By Will 'BHG_Miller' Miller, Systems Designer

…and a new screen showing an Ettin.
More information.

Some nice info there (and in the other QAs).

So the short answer is No? But some of the randomly placed loot is hand-crafted?

Or

Some loot is hand-crafted but not hand-placed?

All I know is that every Reckoning dev needs to drop the word cool from their vocabulary. It must be interjected at least 5 times in every answer. Todd Howard is guilty of this too.
