Honestly the orginal firearms aren't that effective,
but what made them seem to be effective is a person who isn't trained was able to use a firearm better then a bow and arrow and it was faster to reload then a crossbow. Most of the time the person died from wounds other then being shot such as infection or the internal damage, but who knows how the Darkspawn would react to something like that.
As far as being an equalizer for the mages, I could see the Arcane Duelist being kinda OP.

Bows were more efficient than early guns, more accurate and better at piercing armor, and with less chance of malfunctioning to injure the shooter. So I don't know that early guns could have seemed to be more effective, despite the differences in skill training. It hardly matters if unskilled people are able to use guns more easily than bows and arrows, if said guns are crap weapons compared to bows, and there are skilled archers available.

also a lot of the early guns took a stupidly long time to reload- you miss and while you are reloading via stuffing the gunpowder in and bullet, your enemy runs up to you and stabs you in the face. so I'm not really sure what you based that comment on, Sanunes.[/quote]
Ah, but it sure does make for some comedic moments on t.v. One of my favorite moments from the Lincoln movie was watching a man shoot at and miss another man at fairly close range, and the other guy being able to escape safely because the gun was now useless for the next several minutes--and in terms of the total history of gun technology it was a fairly recent model.
