As far as I know the NPC never says you will definitely get THAT reward, it just says you "may for example get this reward".
So you may get the one the NPC posed as an example, or something totally different.

Thanks for reply Atoli. I do see your point, but if that's the case the NPC dialogue seems a bit misleading. I'll post as a bug for now as suggested by Emdub, and see what happens.

note. On the forum someone pointed out this may not be a bug, as the NPC suggests a specific reward, but does not guaruntee it. However, if this is the case I find the NPC dialogue very confusing and misleading.
