I think the intorduction of firearms, while interesting, is a relatively bad idea for Skyrim. TES has been one of the best Middle Age-esque game series in many people's minds. If they start adding things like guns and whatnot, then the whole prospect of the game can become easily lost and it's allure dampened. Plus, it might end up being a combination of Fallout and TES, which kinda sounds cool, but when put in perspective, could prove to be even more disasterous.
