Multiplayer:
Local Network - Said yes to add firewall exception and said allow when windows firewall exception box opened in background (alt+tab to get to it) - got to the Party Selection lobby - Made a party and hosted and started a game just fine.
Internet - After hitting ok on nickname screen it locks up for a minute then says unable to connect
Gamespy - didn't try

By changing DungeonSiege2.exe from the one provided by steam to the one I posted in this forum corrects several of the issues.
1. the ability to get to the multiplayer menu
2. the ability to use allsaves
3. Now the unable to connect to gamespy in the multiuser screen is normal since gamespy does not exist, however there are several forums with way to connect a multi player game over the Internet. Should not be an issue over a local area network
Now that we know this Steam users you might have a solution and have the Legendary Mod and other mods work.

This confirms what has been posted on the steam forums about multiplayer and using an alternative dungeonsiege2.exe. Nobody on steam had obviously tried using allsaves with this method but its not surprising that it works.

The remaining question is whether this makes mods work better, especially the Legendary Mod as that's where all of this started.
