On release, in parallel to the 'Loaded Dice', and I assume, difficulty controls (in the future), add a toggleable option before character creation for 'Heroic Stat Spread', allowing a few extra points at point buy, and perhaps a select weapon proficiency or feat, to allow for a slightly easier solo or reduced party play, without touching the CR of encounters. This could also be toggleable to affect companions/hirelings, giving them an extra few points in attributes.
This would add another horizontal layer of difficulty, where you can choose to play on (presumed) higher difficulty, but with a somewhat stronger party to compensate.
I also find when playing a party based game with a MC, the MC would like to have a wider stat spread than is possible, unless playing CHA based classes. Allowing a few extra points to put in CHA for playing a party face Fighter for example, or just to make a beefy Lone Wolf style character, would be simple, and not something necessary to balance around.
Of course, this isn't necessary during EA, and we should be balancing around a normal stat distribution on the normal difficulty right now.
