Wizardry, undoubtedly one of the biggest CRPG franchises in history; 3D open world, Bethesda (well at least up until Daggerfall) style RPG.

Now we only use CRPGs to refer to a small niche of retro feeling RPGs, but they can still be diverse in form.

Ah, good exception, I’d definitely call that a CRPG, I think because of the types of encounters and style of combat. So I guess camera angle isn’t as important.
