Does skipping Riverwood at beginning break game?

For a change, when my PC escapes Helgen with Hadvar and he suggests they split, she takes him seriously and turns left heading to Falkreath. My PC did all thye major missions there and now, while following Barbas, now finds herself having to pass through Riverwood. But every time I do this, the game crashes. Is it obligatory that the PC find out they're Dragonborn at the beginning of the game?

I could just deviate around Riverwood, but I have to worry that this would only postpone the crash until later in the game. Has anyone had this problem? Is it mod-related?

Are you sure the bug isn't related to Barbas? I don't think I've ever known him to go through Riverwood when following him to Haemar's Shame. Or maybe there's some sort of conflict between the Deadra's Best friend quest and the dialogue that initiates when you first arrive in Riverwood...
