The widescreen FOV files will change your Dungeon Siege II maps so you see more horizontal viewing area when using your widescreen resolution. The surround files change the camera zoom, camera angle, fog and world load radius (frustrum) to accomodate the extremely extended field of view. Using the surround files will reduce game performance quite heavily, but if you're using surround gaming equipment (ex. TripleHead2Go) then your system is up to it.
The main character portrait is misaligned in widescreen resolutions. The map screen is zoomed out in widescreen resolutions. The HUD and all two-dimensional elements do not stretch or scale. Rendered cut-scenes are anamorphic and windowboxed in widescreen resolutions. The game has a fixed-resolution main menu. Pre-rendered cut-scenes that play before the map loads use a fixed resolution of 800x600. Pre-rendered cut-scenes that play after the map loads are stretched in widescreen resolutions.
