What do you do as soon as you escape Helgen?

As for me, I tend to just drift off and not head in any particular direction just avoiding Ralof/Hadvar pretty much, What do you guys do?

Blood on the ice, as Ive found that doing it right away means less chance of it bugging out and becoming incompletable ><

I also go find some safe storage, in Riverwood or maybe the College, depending on character.

I almost always head to Riverwood and the mine that is next to it for some quick money.

I tend to do the first bit of the main quest to get dragons in the game (feels weird to me if there aren't any) then go do whatever.

I go to the bandit camp to pick up the treasure map, then the mine and ritual stones, then riverwood.

I went to Riverwood and took a nice long nap by the mill.

I kinda follow the MQ to a certain point. then go the direction I want. I like the random dragons.

Pretty much what I've done. My next character is going to avoid the main quest for his start.

I always follow Hadvar to Alvor's house, accept their aid and hang out in Riverwood for a while.

My first alt, LazLow the Wood Elf, I went to Riverwood, met Camilla and fell in love. Married her, murdered her brother, (cos I wanted a bed to sleep in, alas nowhere to rest my weary head) I then found out she was having an affair with my mate Faendel, so I ate them both.

I sit by the river near Riverwood and cry. I thank my lucky stars I'm still alive after nearly having my head cut off and eaten by a dragon.

I've only started 3 characters, all versions of the same general character. They all followed Ralof to Riverwood.

After Riverwood, I usually go to Bleak Falls Barrow, then Whiterun and do the first part of the main quest that triggers the dragons.

Usually get my usual gear. Riften guard armour, Alik'r hood and penitus oculatus boots.

Depends on my race. If I'm a Nord I hang around in riverwood, if I'm a dark elf I look for the rumoured statue of azura, if I'm an Argonian I....swim.
