We all have favorite somethings, sometimes we tout our favorites as the best of their respective category, and sometimes our favorites are choices that some people would find odd. Lesser loved works, works with flaws that sometimes piss us off, but we can look past the flaws and still see that stuff that works, just plain works.
So, the topic at hand is: Name one (or more) of your favorite... anything (Movie, game, comic, TV show, manga, anime, etc...) that you can find flaws with, and you can even admit that it's certainly not the best example of whatever it is, but there's still something about it that you just love, warts and all.
My example is Mass Effect. I can admit that it has flaws: The Mako isn't widely favored and with good reason as it has very clunky controls, the combat system has some problems, all the sidequest planets are barren deserts with different paint jobs that house the same three different types of buildings, the inventory system is just a mess (albeit still manageable) and on a technical level, the sequel is superior in most aspects.
I can overlook all that though, because I love the story, the universe, the characters, the epic Space Opera scale of the whole game. Pretty much everything else beyond the actual gameplay I love, coincidentally this is how I felt about KotOR as well.
