Approach things like an investigator, look for clues, try to figure things out. Say "I can't make bricks without clay!" when you do not have enough information.This is an approach to roleplaying a character, it works regardless of the int on the sheet.You will not instantly figure things out Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock style, you might not figure anything out, but you can always role play Sherlock as an approach and a characterization.In 5e a background as an investigator with investigation as one of the two skills should cover things mechanically for the desired narrative even though without a high int you won't get the maximum investigation bonus possible.</blockquote>
