Exactly....
get rid of the "level" concept.
I thought of another one....
Achievements.
eg.
Defeated Sarevok thereby stopping evil=plot to take over the world. (BG1)
Cleaned up the Vale of Shadows of Undead (IWD1)
Solved the Waterdeep Animal mystery (BG2)
it would be a running record of what a character has achieved and done and een through. You could even add smaller achievements. List friends, enemies.
This could then go on through many different games. This would allow a character to explore MANY diverse parts of Faerun (maybe extraplanar places), have adventures take place in other parts.
The fun would be to explore, and to record what you have done and where you have been. That would be reward enough for me.
