In this case, they have the benefit of having books to adapt. It's not Hollywood scriptwriters who decide the plot points. The first season was a roaring success by very closely following the source material, and I do believe that they can successfully do this for the next 2 seasons, as well.
The problem will come after that, if they make the horrible decision to do a 4th season without a novella to adapt. GoT failed once GRRM's lazy communist ass couldn't give them a book in time, so I don't expect him to be able to shit out the 10 next chapters he promised of Dunk & Egg's adventure in the next 2 years. The showrunners will need to call it quit after 3 seasons if they want to leave the audience on a high note.
