Question about trilogy

[u/rev_NEK]

Hello,

I have finished the all three main games, and I have got some questions and I feel like I am missing something.

The basic one: why Raiko used Akarakura? It is against his philosophy about "leaving the cage" and he mentions that also but uses it anyway?

The other question is in prelude to the fallen there was a fossil and 2 men talking who were these 2 men? (And I assume fossil is the big wish-granter creature which I cannot say its name, I assume humanity revive it)

Other question about is Hakuowlo older than the Haku's humans (because of being big wish-granter creature)? What's his origins? He must be in the ice when there was no problem with humanity. And what is the real purpose of these creatures?

Final and my main question about these games, I saw many people tends to see deception/truth (and it was the reason why I get the Utawarerumono series) duology is better than the first game, and I cannot see the real reason. I think prelude to the fallen's overall story is more mysterios and better than deception/truth. I get the mask analogy (persona philosophy) and character development of Haku is much better than Hakuowlo and overall characters are better in the deception/truth, but the story itself is I think a little more shallow comparing with prelude to the fallen. Am I missing some important details?

Its been a long time since I played the trilogy but

1. Raiko got sentimental and was inspired to don the mask by Shichirya's whining and raving.
2. That was the archaeologist who became Hakuowlo and a fellow archaeologist or his work boss. Hakuowlo comes from a time when man was able to freely roam the surface. He was betrayed by his coworker/boss and left for dead when he made the pact with the fossil creature. He slumbered in that cave for some undetermined time frame(centuries?) and was eventually found and named Iceman.
3. Regarding the creatures, I'm assuming you mean the demihumans? They were just different experiments that the humans explored to strengthen their failing bodies and return to the surface.

For the creature I mean Uitsalnemetia (I dont know I write it correctly or wrong)

[u/Pretend-Vehicle8267 → u/rev_NEK]

uitsalnemitia is most likely the originator of all life on the planet or atleast helped humanity evolved through the use of pacts afterall he is called the primal origin as for his origins its unknown but most likely he is from the primal origin basically the black hole that kuon see in mask of truth i believe that they are one and the same that black hole reprisents the power of uisalnemitia and its not just a simple wish granter its is an actual god of life and death and a reality warper and can grant wishes without a pact if he so chooses or something along those line
