I am co-gming a shared world at the moment. Five of us designed characters with 25+25 points, the diversity is staggering.
We have a dex's of 10, 11, 12, 14 & 17, a str's of 9, 10, 13, 15 & 18.
We have a combat monster with practically no skills and has spent all his points on stats and "axemaster".
We have a Polearm-MA-type, a hunter with a knack of hitting the heart, a jouneyman wizard, and an initiate of a God of Thieves who have basically spent all thier points on skills.
Very diverse I think.
