LLMs have only been really good for a couple years. You can bet that the remaining AAA studios are working hard on figuring this out in current unreleased products.

One challenge I see is that to work well and stand above 'easy' implementations the game would need to provide a rich context for the AI to exist in and interact with. Skyrim is a richly detailed world with an engine that allows that level of interaction, especially as it builds upon earlier elder scrolls games. Then there's the factor of whether commercial studios with the capacity to make that world in the first place (which has been a major draw for players) will invest further budget into AI to add more value, and if they have options to see a return on that investment via the main purchase price or additional costs.
