"Sonder" is the two-dollar word.
And yeah, current tech isn't exactly good enough to propose a... David Cage roguelike, or whatever. Or GTA: Dwarf Fortress. Having those systems running all the time would be ridiculous, and worse, boring. But offline LLMs are definitely good enough to backfill details for any characters you do interact with. Like how Shadow of Mordor opportunistically promotes generic NPCs to rivals. Someone you drive past once doesn't need a whole backstory and social network. But if you run them over, the game can give them a whole family, made-up on the spot. That part's pretty easy. Making it interesting is the trick - and even if motives and consequences are shallow dice rolls, a modern chatbot can dress them up convincingly.
