As much as it resembles Civilization, soon-to-release grand strategy game Ara: History Untold is different in some big ways. The biggest might be its simultaneous turn resolution, which is detailed in one of developer Oxide's dev diaries.

However, it also raised the expectations for Bethesda and all of its titles since then, including the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls 6. So much so, in fact that, former Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith says it's "almost impossible" for those expectations to be met – even if it turns out to be amazing.
