Level is representative of the players skill. Not the Characters Skill. For all intents and purposes whether you beat ME 1 at level 24( i think this is impossible) and ME 2 at level 10(aslo impossible) even though shepard is a low level, For story telling purposes he is still a Spectre The elite of the elite Blah blah blah... etc... Blah Blah...Super human...Etc... This never changes. He has this consistent character. We know that he is this person through out the duration of the Game and we know what "Skillz" he supposedly has. this in both games was reflected in the cutscenes. It was reflected in cutscenes far better in ME 2 that shepard was infact a Bad Ass regardless of level Because that was his character. You are still playing the same character in ME 3 you are still playing the bad ass. His level is a non-issue as it reflects the players progression through the game and minimally impacts the story of the series. If this were not the case then class would not have been capable of Reselection at the start of ME 2, as it likely will be at the start of ME 3, for some Raisin(exageration of reason).
Now you continue to forget the most important thing to look at here. ME is a Game. With the same character over and over again. You cannot for the sake of the games balancing leave shepard a super powered Manslaughterer of doom and the Herald of synthetic distruction at the start of the next game.
If they did ME 3 would need about 5-7 more new powers and a much higher level cap. This would also mean the game would need to be longer. Reason: Because Level is a measurment of player progress through the game Not soley the Characters "Skill Level" which does remain at a consistent, yet vague, super special awesome bad ass with a sledge hammer level through out the series. You also shouldn't hit max or be anywhere close to max until the end of the game. Kotor has had this DA:O has had this ME 2 ironically enough did not even though it's predecessor did. in RPGs the Ends typically justify the means, what i mean here is that: Ultimately shepard will lose against or defeat the reapers, and whether he was a sentinel with no tech armor and a vibroblade who liked to go by the name of revan to his best bud Garrus Vakarian, whom he refered to Garry Vickers or a soldier who mansmashed everything with the but of his gun, Is almost totally irrelevant. The only purpose these things have are to maintain game balance however and they do not often affect the outcome of a game or situation. Maybe you aren't understanding this?
i'm a wee bit tired atm so i'm hoping that made sense

my opinion would most likely not change.

Wrong, sorry really no other way to put it.
If I'm character level 1 I can't have maxed charge, or maxed anything for that matter. I need levels in order for my characters skills to become effective. Sure to a certain degree my skills can mitigate things, but as I found out from playing NGP insane, it's a heck of a lot easier once your
Character skills and upgrades kick in.
I hate cutscene inconsistencies. Jack was a massive disapointment because they billed her as something she could never be. I tried it out on the cargo level, she lasted about 2 seconds against 3 Ymir mechs.
Do you have something against extra skills and longer games?
Levels only serve to make you stronger it's an abstract. Especially in games where things scale up anyway. What is
VITAL are the skills you get alongside those levels. If you have ever played a Vanguard it's quite easy to see how they "break" the game once you reach a certain level (as long as you choose the right skills) . Before you reach that point, they are very high risk. It's the characters skills (heavy charge slowdown) 100% shield regen
,lower cooldown times that makes a huge difference in performance. No matter how good your player skills are, you can't replicate that.
I'll just continue the Vanguard example a bit. I don't expect to suck in ME3 like not having my heavy charge. Just because someone is too damm lazy to design a trilogy the way it should be.
If they want to add some additional skills, no problems with that at all. But I going back to level 1 , would not make me a happy bunny.
