Those are not average!

There are some brilliant dialogue writers out there, absolutely. But they're not the norm. The games you list were all developed by companies who pride themselves on hiring talent to write for them (Bioware and Obsidian in particular), but I still maintain that they're far above the industry average.

And to add to your list, the first two Max Payne games, Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, and more recently Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the ones you just mentioned. Though frankly, Dragon Age 2 was a huge step backward from the first one, at least as far as pure RPGs go.
