There are far more Geek influences than Greek influences, taking inspiration as it does from Geek mythology.

And "Milky Way" is the name of a candy bar, but not much in the games was about chocolate and caramel.

There will undoubtedly be greek names here and there but I doubt there will be more than that, or at least I hope. I am tired of ancient greek, nordic, rome and etc stuff. I am oversaturated.

They did, and they are the same reasons why NASA named the spacecraft sent to Jupiter Juno and the missions to the Moon Apollo. It's symbolic. Or sometimes it's just cool, like Saturn V. 

 

Yeah they're probably following their old Nasa influenced formula e.g. Armstrong, Shepard, Aldrin.

 

Also you have the established convention or cliche (depending on p.o.v) of using mythology in popular sci-fi e.g. Star Trek and the BSG/Stargate franchises.

 

Or they could still be using this naming strategy......

C'mon, that's pretty different.

 

The Milky Way galaxy wasn't named after the chocolate bar. The chocolate was named after the galaxy.

Get this.

Milky way's parent company is Mars chocolate.

And N7 is a popular additive in other confectionery such as gum.

You can also visit N7creamery.com for ice cream.

None for me though thanks.

I'm sweet enough already.

And? Why would the Andromeda Galaxy being named after a Greek figure imply that Greek mythology and/or history would be given reference in a sci-fi game set in the far future? Or, at least, more reference than any other old myths or traditional sources of inspiration? The prior trilogy had references and nods to everything from Greek to Norse to Biblical lore, among others, and never showed a particular bias in any direction. It wasn't like Bioware were the ones who gave the real Andromeda Galaxy its name just so they could include a bunch of cheeky one-offs to myths that are from one particular region of the world. Not to mention that the galaxy takes its name from the area of the sky that it can be seen in, being the Andromeda constellation. The galaxy itself is NOT named after the Greek princess.

Cerberus in Andromeda confirmed.

 

IMO the song was most related to the protagonist than anything else (Ryder-Rider). We have now confirmation that there are more than one Ryder and the ship Tempest so there it is the "riders in the sky" part, but the "ghost" part I don't know (maybe related to the stealth technology of the ship?).

I agree with the song and Cerberus? 

As always, you fail to grasp the obvious. Cerberus isn't just an organisation or the people behind it. "Cerberus is an idea; that idea is not so easily destroyed." 

Cerberus will be in the background no doubt, I don't expect to meet them head on but it would not surprise me to see a rebel group eventually morph into Cerberus, lead by a few human radicals.
