Which one should i choose first, statue says "Kitten", "Totem" then "Maxos". and it has something to do with the runes , you need to find the switch all over Aleroth or something . . .
I reloaded a couple times for each chest, and didn't notice any difference. I though maybe with the random items one would have jewellery and the other armour, or something like that, but it seems the choice didn't really have any effect.
Once you find all 5 switches, you can ask the guy wandering up and down the road by the runes what each of them means. Actually, you can talk to him earlier than that, but only ask him about the runes that are activated.
