Except it does, PRECISELY because it's there.
If "level tags" for Larian are a fanciful misleading addition for the sake of it, it makes their existence even more inappropriate in terms of vibe, presentation and immersion.

Halsin was captured by a band of, granted absolute buffed, goblins hes not a fully fledged arch druid not even close.

But the game doesn't tell us that Halsin is stronger but crippled by the context.
It tells us he's a level five and if anything when he joins us his fighting capabilities are even subpar for the the expectations this would set.
Hell, the poor Christ can literally die after you freed him and he's "going back to the grove" because he turns into a mouse with 1 HP or so, walks on a fire surface and *PUFF*: here's a druid corpse and a failed quest.


But again you arnt even supposed to see those level tages, you only do if you cheese it. and if were talking about immersion levels should be hidden entirely.

He wouldn't have been captured in the first place if he was stronger. Hes clearly not a powerful apex druid, especially considering how messed up the grove is. We can see from he notes he called for help but no one came, and he lie to Kagha about the tadpoles because he was afraid of the reaction, he and that entire druid circle are weak, its why the grove is soo messed up when we get there.
