If your rep is 20, you can't gain any more rep.

If your characters' inventories are full, then *something* will be
dropped on the ground. It may or may not be Brage's Sword (which is an
unidentified magic item when you first find it.)

You're right that 20 rep cannot be further increased, but all the other
reputation-enhancing quest rewards still say "Party has increased
reputation: 1", even though it has no effect.

He definitely does not give me the sword. I answer the riddle, he says
one more speech, then I click End Dialogue and it loads the cutscene in
the temple, then he talks to the priest and then the priest talks to me
and gives me the reward. At no point during any of that does it say
"Party has gained an item" or "an item has been dropped on the ground"
(and I have loads of inv space anyway).

Besides, even if you and Jonathan were both right and your replies
explained about the rep and the sword, that still leaves the 1000xp
which I'm supposed to get.

No, I think something is wrong here, I just can't work out what it is.
Do I only get the xp if I kill his sister?

Right, probably there is something wrong. But I'm just about to finish
tutu and haven't encountered such probs. The Brage quest worked fine for
me. Wouldn't use the sword anyway as it is cursed. Therefor you'd better
just continue adventuring. There is a lot more to be discovered.

Absolutely not. Didn't kill her (good party) and still got the XP.
