Intelligence is all you need for roleplay.
Roleplay is overlooked as a special case of chain-of-thought, where context must be attended to and inferred state of the world and embodied minds must be persisted and evolved along credible narrative lines. LLMs are also being tasked to function as gamemasters. It's a challenging task which points to potential future benchmarks. The fact that the largest commercial LLMs are adept in generating text for roleplay intuitively implies that model intelligence is sufficient so long as it can generalize properly and pay attention to context without becoming confused.
This recent merge of mine composed using 3 academic fine-tunes, none of which were intended for roleplay, has survived the gauntlet of a Reddit post and appears to be a particularly strong 8B model when it comes to roleplay coherence.
