Yeah, I smiled, too, even though my Hawke wanted to put her staff through his face.
Oh, gosh, I hope there's a joke about that somewhere in DAI.
I wonder if in DA:I they'll keep the whole 'Cullen being oblivious thing' like:
Cullen: Hey, Inquisitor, if I may inquire, what is that staff for?
Mage!Inquisitor: Why, to better beat you with, my dear!
*cough* Sorry Red Riding Hood moment there.....
Would probably be more like:
Cullen: Hey, Inquisitor, if I may inquire, what is that staff for?
Mage!Inquisitor: .....Are you serious?
Cullen: *clueless* Why, yes, I was curious as you do not seem to have any physical ailments.
Mage!Inquisitor: Uh....because I'm a mage?
Cullen: Oh....Wait, you're a MAGE?!
Mage!Inquisitor: ....You have seen me throw spells before, right?
Cullen: I thought I had something in my eye.
Mage!Inquisitor: *facepalm*
