Something like this:
"Good news everyone - Starchild gets a Spacemagic-monologue to explain everything."

One fan will ask " Mr. Hudson, why was the ending so contrary to the themes in the past 2.9 games?"

And Casey will respond with "THIS IS ARTAAA!"
and kick the fan down a well.

Wouldn't mind this either though.

I am holding my breath until PAX. But remember that PAX does not have to be an "be all/end all" event. They may decide to go with a bigger announcement later that month. There are still over 3 weeks of April after PAX.

I think the fate of Mass Effect BioWare as a triple a franchise company that players have any trust in will be decided on April 6th.

Amended to the way I percieve it.

I´m leaning towards OP´s scenario except the tazering some poor fan. Propably they announce more MP stuff and relating weekend campaing like operation bubblegum etc.

[Azrael08151819]

I m sure they will announce an addon for Me 3 that will either split the ending branches or start right after for 29.99 released in late may or april that was already planned and worked on ending the sheppard story with a big happy end where ur decisions will actually matter. If they dont they are screwed because they will loose their whole main fanbase and get the bigest reputation loss in all of gaming history. "This will hurt you!" (Harbinger)

The worst case?
What you've already written.
OR: They avoid even mentioning ME3 and istead they talk about Dragon Age 3 and their plans to put 3 modes in this game: Action, RPG, or ... Random. And you have 300 different endings of course.

*sigh* Times where I hate my sarcasm.

Thanks, made my day
But sadly, true.

[MysteriousMass]

They announce "Starchild" DLC where you have to make a bunch of solutions to problems that don't make sense.

Worse case? Well, they could kill mass effect, alienate there core fans, ignore all the feedback and get a pat on the back with a "job well done" from IGN.

Sooo, basically follow through with the current MO.

Worst Case Scenario: I spend the money I would have spent on Mass Effect 3 DLC on The Witcher series.

i spent mine on the wasteland 2 kickstarter which i highly recommend.

as for the worst case scenario.. pitchfork, torches, tasers, standoff, tactical nukes and survivors hunting through the desolate wasteland for supplies

[ananna21]

New multiplayer maps and only that .

After listening to the extremely small minority of fans that actually disliked our artistic masterpiece and completely original ending we have decided to make its deep, intellectual meaning clearer to the uncouth, uneducated peasantry by adding 80% more space magic!

Uh.... wow.  I'm not really confident BWEA will actually do anything but justify how deep and original the ending is, but the OP's scenario seems a little... extreme... for a gaming convention.  Burly guards and taserings?  Really?

[Headcount]

They announce that the endings stand and everyone in attendence spontaneously combust.

[Hydralysk]

Wrost case scenario is they tell us they'll 'explain' the ending to us with paid DLC because we just 'didn't get it'. At that point I'd probably snap the discs in half and mail it to BW with a note saying "Speculate on why this happened".

Yes - and in my case I will be adding the trade in value of ME3

Your worst case was pretty realistic until the part about some guy getting his ass kicked for asking the wrong question.

I mean come on lol.

No that only happens if you tell people you play alliance at BlizzCon.

A lot of you are looking to PAX for some semblence of salvation.  The announcement the majority of us are hoping to come will almost certainly come there, while all the press is waiting for it. 

Now, remember everyone, PAX is run by Penny Arcade. Enough has been stated on the creators of both Child's Play and PAX, let us focus on EA and Bioware.

What is your worst case scenareo?

Here is mine (and also what I actually think will happen).

The room is going to be filled with guards, probably one at every entrance and exit, with a few normal clothes guards in the audience. The first will be annoucements as to how great Mass Effect 3 has done at all major reviewing sites (we all know that huge kickbacks are given to all of these sites), and how many copies were sold. 

The 'retake' effort will be brought up, but never mentioned by name.  Something along the lines of "A few vocal critics" or "A vocal minority" will be mentioned, and the integrity of "video games as art" will be sounded off. 

A fancy video will be played, showing off a multiplayer DLC which will introduce two or three new weapons, one or two new races for established classes.  One or two new maps as well.

Question and answer session will go in one of three possible ways:
1. All questions will be written down ahead of time and put in a box, they will be reviewed and the 'softest' questions will be selected to be answered, none in the audience will be permitted to speak. 
2. Plants in the audience will be selected, people who are known to the staff who were specifically flown out or hired to ask specific questions ("how did you get inspired to make the art for the game?" "What was your favorite moment"... you know, the useless questions that boil down to "Please pat yourself on the back for us"). 
3. Only the press will be allowed to ask questions, the same press that EA gives kickbacks to get better ratings on their games.

Anyone in the audience who speaks up will be probably met with overwhelming force from security. I know it may be extreme to say this, but I can forsee a tasering for asking "The wrong question."
Or worse, perhaps six burley guards mobbing one poor soul for asking "Why wasn't the ending more friendly to the color blind?"

IF questions are answered from the crowd, I expect answers like "I am not answering that question at this time" or "Clearly the ending went over your head".  

Am I being pessimistic? hell yes. Tell us all your "worst case scenareos"!

Pretty much sums it up. Minus the tasering of course.^^

But seriously, if questions are allowed, someone should have the guts to actually ask 
"Why wasn't the ending more friendly to the color blind?". Would be hilarious.^^

If I had a question i would ask them if they had played deus ex 1

I will actually be there and will be more than happy to ask that question.

PAX is totally sweet and if they say something along the lines of 'no questions about the ending', I'll have no problem getting up and leaving immediately. There's dozens of events happening at any given time and I don't want to waste time on anything irrelevant at the convention; if they announce something at the end of the panel or whatever you're not missing much since it'll be on the internet within seconds.

Best case scenario: Diana Allers as main character, becomes leader of destroyed earth and heralds the beginning of a new era.

[Smiley556]

Carefull guys. Remember a couple years back someone tried to predict the worst case scenario ending to ME3, and Bioware used it as inspiration. They see everything posted in this topic as great ideas to do at PAX. Listening to feedback an all...

[FemmeShep]

I wouldn't be surprised if questions were pre-screened.
