You wonāt be able to use a sword in Fable: The Journey. Or a gun.
You may have been able to surmise this from the gameās E3 demo or from Brian Crecenteās impressions a couple months back.

We could have done melee weapons, but the one thing I hate about melee weapons, and guns as well, is that the human brain is encoded to expect recoil from those things,ā Molyneux explained.
The alternative, then, is magic, for which we have none of said encoded expectations. I suppose thatās okay. I donāt think Iāll miss swords or guns all that much when Iām wielding thunderbolts between my bare hands.
No melee combat in Fable: The Journey because Kinect canāt do recoil [via OXM]
