I feel the same.
Even though I can tolerate the stat/armour/initiative system (despite them feeling like a significant downgrade compared to DOS1) I was looking forward to the DE's changes. However after reading the Definitive edition's changelog I can't bring myself to justify replaying the game solely for some modified dialogue in Arx.
I might replay it at a later date once they've added mod support and the bugs reported on Steam's and Larian's forums have been fixed, but until then I won't consider the new edition anything else than a minor patch.
