Does anyone have any helpful tips or ideas as to what to do after I finish creating my character? Also who should I go with when escaping from the dragon at the start? Any tips or recommendations would be helpful

First and foremost welcome to the forums
You should follow Ralof when escaping from the dragon at the beginning. It makes local sense because of what will happen.
I recommend that you join the ranks of the Stormcloaks and fight for Skyrims freedom and be a proud Nord

Nord Arise! Throw off the shackles of
Imperial oppression. Do not bow to the yoke of a
false emperor. Be true to your blood, to your
homeland.
The
empire tells us we cannot worship holy
Talos. How can man set aside a god? How can a true Nord of Skyrim cast aside the god that rose from our own heartland? Mighty Tiber Septim, himself the first emperor, conqueror of all
Tamriel, ascended to godhood to sit at the right hand of
Akatosh. Tiber Septim, a true son of Skyrim, born in the land of snow and blood, bred to the honor of our people, is now Talos, god of might and honor. The Empire has no right to tell us we cannot worship him.
Our own high king,
Torygg, betrayed us to the empire. He traded our god for peace. He agreed to a pact with the
Thalmor signed by an emperor in a foreign land. Are we to be beholden to such a pact? No! A thousand times no.
Do not let the lessons of history go unheeded. The
Aldmeri Dominion and its Thalmor masters made war upon men, just as the elves made war upon
Ysgramor and our people in ancient times. Shining
Saarthal was burned to the ground, reduced to ruins and rubble in their treacherous assault. But Ysgramor and his sons gathered the 500 Companions and made war upon the elves, casting them out of Skyrim. In the
Great War fought by our fathers, the elves again betrayed men by attacking us unprovoked. The Dominion and the Thalmor cannot be trusted!
Like Ysgramor,
Ulfric Stormcloak is a true hero of Skyrim. His name will ring in
Sovngarde for generations to come. Only he had the courage to single out King Torygg and challenge him to trial by arms. Ulfric's
thu'um, a gift from Talos himself, struck down this traitorous ruler. And by his death we are now free of our Imperial shackles and the Thalmor overlords that darken the Imperial throne.
The Empire has sent its
Legions to govern us. They have enlisted our own countrymen to their cause. They have set brother against brother, father against son. They have caused Skyrim to battle itself in their name, for their cause. Do not let them divide us. Do not let them conquer us! Reject the Imperial law that forbids the worship of Talos. Join Ulfric Stormcloak and his cause!
The Imperials are nothing but liars! Don't believe a word of them because they like spreading propaganda. Don't believe a word they say about Ulfric. It's all lies!
