I think the issue is that LARPing battle is a poor substitute for what the body can take and how people respond to real pain and damage. We might be getting to the point that we can get somewhat of a foot take on the damage with VR eventually.

- Apocryphon 5y agoI wouldn't know, I don't actually play that game.
- willcipriano 5y agoI've been playing Blade and Sorcery in VR for a week or so. It's scary at first, but after a while I don't mind getting hit and play in a way that I would never do with my own body at risk. In the real world I'd get somewhere up high with a bow, but I run around like Conan the Barbarian in the game.

Imagine living in a world where how tough you are, how well you can fight determines everything about your status in the world.
