Yes, the videos should still be available. I don't recall which specifically mentioned this.

Having a seed for loot generation does not by itself create balance. It allows loot to be better balanced than having a random seed for the pseudo random number generator.

There are a limited number of permutations regardless of the seed type.

D:OS 2 uses a combination of random, semi-random and hand crafted loot. People have and do replay D:OS 1 and 2, so only fixed loot would hurt the replayability, regardless of how low you consider it to be to start with.
