What makes you say this? Stats = attributes right? Because I am under the impression that this is one thing that will change. There was that post Sawyer made about being ready to 'halve and double numbers' for beta tuning, and I think the system went in late and is still under revision. I reckon, by the end of it, there will be more call to play to a character's attribute selection.
. They've said the AI will eventually be making better calls, ranged shooting at your backline nudist if they notice them, melee even rushing through disengagement attacks to maul them, that should be good. But still, maybe a very low DT suit that doesn't effect speed? Or no equipment still giving a decent gear look to a character model IE style? 
Skills aren't what's primarily checked in dialogues - attributes are. The scripted interactions make more use of skills, but every single one I've seen in the beta lets you use the skills of your partymembers. The skills also have combat benefits for each character that takes them.
I want them to do something to make naked less amazing though, just because it looks ridiculous
It can still be impossible to make a useless character with bigger differences in attributes. The only thing that might constitute failing is making a character you don't actually enjoy playing, but that's just unavoidable* and I don't think Josh is too worried about this.
Dat sexy box.
