I don't know, it's always been weird to me that people think being a good writer is some sort of skill only a few other people have. Can you read and write? Do you have an ability to use a spell check program? or can you get someone to proof read your work? if so then you can probably write as good as anyone else. Sure it helps if you read and have experience but it mostly comes down to being into what you are writing.
Now I will totally contradict what I just said because I find 99% of the writing in all these games is actually done poorly. Though maybe this doesn't contradict what i said? maybe i'm saying that everyone can probably write as poorly as these so called writers! Though technically their writing is good, it's just their plot which is bad and the inability to say more with less. There is usually too much text AND most of it is completely uninteresting. I usually end up mashing down ctrl and going right to the choice selection.
No offense mate (really) but this seems to be the most nonsensical thing you've said so far. I honestly hope it's some language barrier/cultural difference, but just in case:
When people say someone is "A good writer", much like when they say someone is "A good musician", "A good painter" or "A good engineer", they don't mean that "They have fingers that are able to press keys on a piano" or "they have hands that can pick up a brush and dump it in some paint" or "They can double click AutoCAD (choose your relevant software)". What they mean is "They can produce usable (enjoyable) work in a relevant timespan ("Without mistakes" usually goes hand in hand as well with being good)"
Incidentally, by saying "you just need a spellchecker" you're denying the hard work of people that do put effort into writing
