A person on Steam called Killah has enabled it on the Steam versions of the game. I've tested it and it seems to work on GOG's versions as well.
(These patches will want to replace files in your GOG game directory. Allow them to.)
I've posted a direct link to the download links from the Steam link if you don't want to click the Steam links.
For Dungeon Siege 1: (Dungeon Siege I (Legends of Aranna) Steam Fix by Killa)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1148174213
Or
https://pastebin.com/Gcg9qLLp
Install instructions:
1. Click on the download link from the above link
2. Copy the 'Main MEGA Link' URL and paste it into your address bar.
3. On the download link look on the right corner of the screen and select download everything as a zip file.
4. After downloading open the Killah's Steam Fix.
5. Copy everything inside the "Dungeon Siege I Steam Fix by Killah" folder inside the archive to your Dungeon Siege GOG installation folder. Replace anything it wants to.
6. (Optional) Copy the reg-patch to your installation folder.
7. (Optional) (If you did step 6.) Install the registry fix as Administrator by right-clicking on the fix and then click Run as Administrator.
For Dungeon Siege 2: (Dungeon Siege II (Broken World) Steam Fix by Killah)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1165078098
Or
https://pastebin.com/Gcg9qLLp
Install instructions:
1. Click on the download link from the above link
2. Copy the 'Main MEGA Link' URL and paste it into your address bar.
3. On the download link look on the right corner of the screen and select download everything as a zip file.
4. After downloading open the Killah's Steam Fix.
5. Copy everything inside the "Dungeon Siege II Steam Fix by Killah" folder inside the archive to your Dungeon Siege II GOG installation folder. Replace anything it wants to.
6. Copy the reg-patch to your installation folder.
7. Install the registry fix as Administrator by right-clicking on the fix and then click Run as Administrator.
There are also guides on those pages for setting up multiplayer. Though i've not tested that.
A note:
You will get a message popup on both games after creating a character asking to select a world. Read the descriptions in game as they will say what is the original game, and the expansion.
Also it does not break Dungeon Siege 2 on Windows 10, mouse works fine (Steam version, and Retail had issues.)
Edit 22/11/23: Yes the registry files are needed for Dungeon Siege 2 otherwise the expansion will not see the base game installed, then the expansion will not see the base game installed so you need them both! (Dungeon Siege 1 remains optional as both the base game and expansion read each other differently.)
Language pack installation:
(Dungeon Siege I/II Language Packs)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1165078098
Or
https://pastebin.com/Gcg9qLLp
Install instructions:
1. Click on the download link from the above link
2. Copy the 'Main MEGA Link' URL and paste it into your address bar.
3. Click on the button with the little dots to your left on the file you want to download.
4. After downloading unzip the file you just downloaded.
5. Copy everything inside the the new folder we just unzipped to your Dungeon Siege directory. It will want to replace game files, let it.
A note:
Both games will work the same way to install the language pack.
DS1 seems to only change the main menu and general game hud to whatever language you have installed. Voice overs and text dialog will remain in English.
