This is my thinking also. LLMs as chatbots are the least interesting possibility imho. I can foresee LLMs being used as an 'OS' for NPCs, where context from the environment/player is updated and appropriate actions are made by the NPCs according to the 'persona'.

I expect this would lead to much richer emergent behaviour, such as the player donning beggar clothes and walking into a city eliciting a very different response than walking around with a sword in one hand.

As a gamedev, this is an area I'm actively investigating.

I started /r/aigamedev as a subreddit to keep up to date on generative AI technologies, with a focus on the tech and workflows for gamedev. Its largely my own interest links as I research for work and personal, but its growing, and fluff free (so far).
