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

I try to go to whichever path is going to lead me back to the fork. Gotta try to see everything in one playthrough. If one path appears to be leading me in the right direction, I go back and try the other path. Usually has treasure, a dead end, a new type of enemy, or some kind of clue anyway.
