The sword is a fixed reward (her armor is the loot that has two teirs of quality, determined by your character's level).
The reason the sword appears to be a downgraded version most likely stems from the fact that a low-level character will have low-level stats in their Strength attribute and their Blade skill. Simply put, a low-level character cannot utilize armor and weapons to their full potential, no matter how cool those items may happen to be.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
