Beserkers are good guys?Let's see, main dude hires you to murder a cleric and is pissed if you just let him leave the village. Another guy asks you to murder an outlaw that's outside the town. They murder a guy who is trying to find a better way to save World Hearts, um yeah, good guys.
Beserkers are like Nazis. The only decent group is the folks in Domed City. They have issues but they're all trying to get along. PB didn't make this group a faction because all the rest of the groups would be empty. Just pick the skills you like because every faction is pretty horrible and there is no honor in any of them.
I don't see Duras as evil at all. His quest made it pretty clear why he did what he did.

I confess to trolling you, WGD
when does joining begin (and you can't change your choice?), when you accept to do a quest to join or when these quests are done?
It's very explicit, you don't risk joining by accident. It's at the end of a series of quests for each faction, which you can do regardless of whether or not you want to join them. When joining them is an option, you get a fairly big "I would like to join you!" followed by a fairly obvious "Are you sure? That means you can't join the other two factions" type of dialogue.
Also, it can't be changed.
