RPG players: There is a fork in the path. Do you go right or the left?

I'm not sure. First I try to see which is the way I have to go, maybe there's some hint. In that case, I take the other one first to get items and stuff. If there's no way to figure that out, I'd probably tend to take the left one, but I'm not sure about this. I'm left-handed.
