Probably, yes.
Good eventual rewards, plus they're there to help newbies learn.
> Is choosing a morality imperative?
Only if you want the benefits (such as participating in Karmova's Trials, or getting rp for pkilling).
> What are some good areas to check out? (Please post directions)
Varies widely by your power level. Try the areas command, and shoot low at first.
Hope that helps a bit
