Short puzzle for a nonbundle game [Ended] [Solution posted]

Approx 24 hours to go. Only 1 solver. Here's a hint:

Grid

If there are not 5 entries 12 hours from end, another hint will be posted.

12 hours to go (or is it 36 hours, and I selected Sunday instead of Saturday to be the ending date?). Here's the next hint:

The numbers can be translated to something that resembles a chessboard coordination system.

Yes, the reserving becomes a thing! Yeeees!

DISCLAIMER:

It would seem I had a hex on me when creating this puzzle, it's 1 day longer than expected. And it might be troublesome for the winner. I might head out of the country tonight and return on Wednesday/Thursday. So in advance I say sorry for the eventual delay of handing the prize out.

EDIT:
Disclaimer no longer needed, me and the wife decided to hold off on the trip because of bad weather. So next hint will be posted 12 hours before end of puzzle.

Since there's still only 3 entries (and 6 solvers total) and 13 hours to end (I can't be here when it's only 12 hours to go), I'll post the next hint now:

The disclaimer holds the clue for the numbers part of the puzzle

1 hour to go and still not 5 entries. This hint will most likely solve any problems you might have left.

Thanks for trying at least. Perhaps it will prove a bit too hard, and hints will come in handy. :)

Did you see I've added a clue? :)

I'd appreciate if you don't post theories on how to solve it as it's an individual challenge.

As a clue to which game it is, the original game has been part of a bundle somewhere, but this is a special edition which consists of the game and all 6 DLCs for it as well in a package.

I think there's a difference between you being too stupid and me making a puzzle that's probably too hard. :) Hopefully you'll get an "aha"-moment if I have to post another hint in about 2½ hours.

Someone better give him a poke, with a long pointy stick, to see if he's still alive.

Also, let's poke DownwardConcept, seems he hasn't been able to solve it yet either. He's alive, but he deserves a poke to make sure he solves it. ;)

Poke-poke!
Sorry, had to do this

Please don't discuss theories on how to solve the puzzle.

I think I will have to post the solution after the puzzle is over seeing how few actually has been able to solve it, even with the hints. Not sure what else to post at this point to get it up to 5 entries without posting the exact solution. :P Wanna get at least 5 entries.

Indeed. But a big shout out to theBlindOne that solved it before I added any hints. I think I underestimated the toughness of this puzzle when creating it.

I think I'm understanding it wrong, Nordbhane is a hexer, or witcher if you prefer ;]

God I'm so thick, I was trying to translate from hex to text:

1. 92 43 77 26 58
2. i92 a43 c77 o26 o58

I still don't know how you came up with 5C 2B 4D 1A 3A

Hahaha I got the decimal to hex conversion before the hints, but I totally missed the sentences all consisted of 5 words... gah :-P Good puzzle!

I think the puzzle was fine the way it was without any hints, but since you only get CV if at least 5 people join the giveaway, I understand the need for the hints. Otherwise I would just say you should reward the people who figured it out without the hints rather than dumb it down to reach the entry quota.

I didn't start the puzzle until after the first two hints were posted, so don't know if I would have solved it without them or not and if not, I didn't deserve to be alongside those that did... Just my thoughts...

Was the puzzle too hard?
Nope, it was not. We can see a lot of quiz puzzles at SG where you often need to google every single answer, which is very boring and you do not use your brain much. Such puzzles can be called hard in a way that you need to put some efforts not to stop solving them. In some non-quiz puzzles, you can solve part of it and then you need to randomly guess what the author meant because the next step does not relate to anything you already did. On the contrary, yours is based on pure logic and every step of the solution is connected to some other step. It is really great, but this big advantage does not allow to call your puzzle difficult because the solution is a very logical one. I would say that the difficulty of the puzzle is average.

Was there too many steps to get the code or too little information?
Basically, there are two main steps:
1) one has to notice that the description contains 5 lines, each of which has 5 words. (form a grid)
2) one has to make a convertion from Decimal to Hex. (make a projection on the grid)
I am really surprised that many puzzle-experienced users had problems with the second step.
The last minor step is to take first letters from 5 words you obtained. Although this can seem to be a straightforward step for SG users, in reality it is not. Probably, you could emphasize it somehow somewhere in hints.

Was the hint-system well made or should it have been more clear?
Yes, it was. However, there were too many of them to my taste.

As a non-solver, I actually put all the letters individually into a 10 x 10 grid, because I thought that 92, for example, would be 9 across and 2 down, or 9 down and 2 across. And with a 5 x 5 grid that wouldn't be possible. I tried all combinations and even backwards, upside down, everything. But sadly I did not get the hex conversion thing which would have made it solved, although not guaranteed because of the URL, because I had indeed noticed that there were 5 words in each line, with 5 lines.

Oh I see it now!
I actually got the hex conversion without any hints because I looked up the numbers on an ASCII-hex-dec table & noticed the 1,2,3,4,5 pattern. Where I goofed miserably was missing the 5x5 pattern in the description :/
