It would be a terrible thing to do in real-life.

Valheim was released to Early Access in February. It already has Mods on a frightening scale. VHVR is one such mod. Unofficial VR mod was recently updated to allow Valheim players to punch wolves with their real bodies if they so desire.

The updated control set includes motion-accurate arery and fishing. This is for players who are less interested in punching. “Motion tracking can be translated via multiplayer so you can say hello to your friends (or whatever lewd gestures you like). Gestures I can imagine are something like “Come Here so that I may slap your with a fish, and challenge you to an chess match .” All of it sounds great to me.
