Yes another speculation thread but its fun! One twist I was thinking about was what if a squadmate you have is indoctrinated all along? who do you think it would be from those that we know?
My guess would be the VS. There has been 2 years of unknown whereabouts from Shepard's perspective and it would hit more at home if a friend or LI has betrayed Shepard.
Speculation: who do you think could be an indoctrinated squadmate?

Indoctrinated? Noone.
Cerberus sleeper agent who turns on you, and then turns on them when they find out Cerberus is working for the Reapers? James Vega.

Nah, I like this idea. I say Garrus, Tali, Jacob or Miranda.

I could see that, Vega being a Cerberus spy. could be kinda obvious but I guess it could work.

Did we really need another thread on this subject?

No. Because I'd like to think that Bioware has heavier, more interesting and original plot points than "HURR DURR, and then John (Shepard) was a Zombie(fied husk)".

A betrayal of some fashion could be interesting but indoctrination wouldn't make any lick of sense.

Shouldn't Shepard be indoctrinated if a squadmate is being exposed to enough Reaper artifacts (or the same one long enough) to make them indoctrinated?

I thought about that as some corny 6th sense type of ending. Shepard ends up unwittingly uniting the galaxy military might to get wiped out all at once by the reapers at the end. Wouldn't really be a good ending, wouldn't it?
I do think indoctrination is going to play a big role in Me3, obviously with Cerberus, but more personally with Shepard....or at least I think it should be more personally, to mess with Shepard's mind.

None - and it's not because I think it's unfair to lose and squadmate and I'll cry if the choice is out of my hands.
It's because I'm getting tired of "magical" forms of mind control that make character actions less relevant. "Oh, he wasn't turning on me... he was "MIND CONTROLLED".

No one, thank you. Indoctrination was interesting in 2007, when Saren was being presented as both villain and victim. Since then, it's become a way of justifying characters explicitly turning against you.
Curse you, sudden but inevitable betrayal!

There is some posibility to have a traitor in squad. In every BioWare game was someone, who betrays protagonist - Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KotOR, Jade Empire (I won't say who, because someone will be hurt)... So I'm 90% sure, that someone will betray...

Yeah, and it sucked then, too. There's far better ways to reflect pained character loss upon the player than 'hi! I'm going to try and kill you now!'. Throw in some character choice, make them die because of something the player has done. Inexplicable betrayal - especially via something as crummy as mind control - smacks of arbitrary, melodramatic sillyness.
