In my opinion, the game is designed for you to take any path. Maybe keep in mind which section of a world you're in (1-2 vs 1-3, for example) as that will probably give you an idea of how far you should progress at a given time. As far as I can tell, world tendency will never prevent you from accessing the critical path or progressing the plot.
Also, without giving away too much, the dragon god fight can be done at any time after Flamelurker.
