Wizardry 8 (my pre-BGII favorite) is a good example of a first-person, party-based RPG. In my opinion, they did a fantastic job with it, but I've heard a lot of people begging to differ. If you haven't played it: you set up the position configuration of your party, but you share a single first-person perspective, and only see the other party members in their portraits around the edges of the screen (although you see their spells and ranged weapons fly onto the screen from "behind" you). Of course, the beauty factor was nowhere near Morrowind's, but it's an older game.
