I think most of my favourite games are flawed masterpieces, including BG1 & BG2 (& BG3).
There's a huge difference between something having a few tiny little flaws and something being "flawed." There are several RPGs out there that I would label as games I absolutely love. And yet I would never label them as masterpieces (or any other similar label), because for me something has to be "near perfect" to be a masterpiece, and no RPG ever made qualifies as such.
