What's your favorite PC game?

My favorite has to be DayZ

That's a million dollar question.
My favourite PC games right now are World of Warcraft and Diablo III, but there are lots of other games I love (Fallout, Hearthstone, Skyrim, Starcraft, ..)
Sure thing is that when Fallout 4 comes out (hopefully E3, but doubtfully so) there's no doubt that'll be my favourite game for a while.

I loved Skyrim and frankly can't get off of the Elder Scrolls Online, it's addicting...

I tried ESO but I didn't like it that much.. it doesn't have the feeling of an Elder Scrolls for me.
As an MMO/MMORPG I think nothing comes close to WoW so far. The graphics, the lore, the world, the never-ending endgame content, the fantastic levelling experience, the mechanics in PvP/PvE.. but that's just personal taste.

not much of a gamer, but I've recently purchased this planet simulator which is fun to fool around with:
I downloaded the full version.

There was a game called Steer Madness, but it was far to silly to get much traction (Angry cow on a rampage), although I totally respect the team that made it. A more serious take would require a huge budget, unfortunately, which just isn't available for activism (going silly was the only option they had).

I want to play a game where you're a Fed trying to bust up an animal rights "terrorist" group, and you go under cover, acting as an agent provocateur (basically, you're there to try to get other people to do something illegal so the feds can arrest them all). The group is resistant to doing anything dangerous, so you're ordered to push the envelope and break into a lab to free some animals- under the assumption that if you do it and show them they can get away with it, the others will follow suit. It doesn't work, but in the process you get exposed to all of the horrors involved in animal agriculture and testing through your work with them.
You find a bunch of evidence that incriminates some huge companies, and you bring it to your superiors and they shut you down and the evidence disappears. You get suspended and you follow it up the chain to major lobbyist groups and the USDA and corrupted administrators and politicians as a PI. You get funding for equipment etc. from a contact you made while undercover in that group.
At the end you get arrested and charged under the AETA's vague conspiracy provisions, despite not having done anything illegal (except for when you were working for the Feds) because you rendered a service to a group, an anonymous member of which broke into a lab and freed some animals (which was you, under your superior's orders). The court doesn't allow you to testify to that fact, because it's been classified. You end up thrown in a hole, cut off from communication with the outside world as a terrorist threat. And that's the end of the game.

I want to play that.

Unfortunately there's little to no space for controversial stuff in games (except for some jokes). It wouldn't be good for business and it'd make a bad name for the game.
Only little companies of activists would make such a game.
Why such a peculiar story? Did you elaborate it or did you read it somewhere?

EDIT: I should say: controversial stuff that we currently have in real life, not in-game decisions.

Has any one played Kerbal Space Program in depth? I'm seeing if I should buy it

Yep, there's just no money to make stuff like that.

It's based on a typical game plot for crime dramas and conspiracies, flipped around to involve animal rights. I doubt anything like that ever happened, but all of that stuff is basically real and plausible (at least, TV/Video Game level plausible).
A lot of games have very similar plot lines (with the plot twists of the same type, just involving different organizations/made up crime syndicates and such).

I haven't played it, but there many 'let's plays' on Youtube, if you care to see the gameplay.
There are also many reviews.
