I'll do the MQ to the point where dragons can spawn, then enjoy everything else with a chance of dragon attack. 

When I read your post I could only imagine a Skyrim weather reporter.
"So the weather today will be mainly clear, some drizzle in the eastern parts with a chance of dragon attack..."
"Hey Billy! What's the weather like today?" *look outside window, sees a dragon destroying the town* "Bah! Dragon again, hopefully clear up soon..."
