So you’ve just been on a long hard quest through the mountains of Winterhold, fought off countless trolls and necromancers and found a priceless amulet that you’ll store at home and forget to ever sell. All of this with your dear Lydia by your side. You realise that it’s 3am in your real life and about time you head to bed, leaving your companion to sleep in her virtual world.

That is unless you’ve purchased the Lydia hug pillow. For those of you not aware, hug pillows are specially made pillows with designs of females on the front. They are pretty popular in Japan and there are several different video games characters that have been used on these too.

The hug pillow will set you back ¥18,450 or absolutely nothing if you realised that this was an April Fool’s joke. Still, maybe a few ideas for Bethesda’s online store.

This is just one of the many hoaxes that tripped up people yesterday. Take a look at our favourites here.
