When The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt first came out, a few quests rewarded you with a sword that was supposed to be awesome, but by the time you got it, you probably already had a better one. The most egregious case occurred in the quest "Band of Brothers" on Skellige, which ended with Crach an Craite bequeathing the sword "Winter's Blade" to Geralt.
This sword was supposed to be forged in dragon fire and was so legendary that even Geralt had heard stories about it. All this backstory for the sword to be so useless was a crime.
However, CD Projekt RED has completely changed this situation in the updated version. Blade of Winter now has a trait befitting a legendary sword. The blade will scale with Geralt, which means it will always be up to date. This is what really makes the sword useful, and not just a piece of junk that you look at after the quest, and then it will hang forever on your wall in Toussaint.
It also makes the Crash an Craite quest more worthy of completing as soon as possible, because you know the reward will really help you on your journey.
