No, I think we're fine without them. We don't need guns in every video game. Especially simply for the fact that, quoting the OP, "guns are cool". That is by no means an excuse to add lore-breaking content. Given the fantasy setting, even steampunk-styled flintlocks would be breaking the existing lore.
