What are your thoughts on AI characters in games? Should they be based on conversational or behavioural? In simpler terms, conversational AI is about what a character says in-game, and behavioural AI is about what the character does in the game.

I'm biased, but I'm gonna go with behavioral. :-) Behavioral game AI has always existed, its just not very good most of the time. Conversational AI is the new kid on the block. And it's already surpassed by ChatGPT and all that. I would be surprised if a lot of players want to have long conversations with a chatbot, instead of doing things in the game.
