What is the best skill to specialise in at the beginning?

The specialisation won't make a huge difference but picking weapon / tool specialisation may make the game a little easier for you in terms of combat and gaining resources, and lets you build a boat early on.

An alternative is the Construction skill as its not easy to level this up if you don't specialise in it.
