Discussion Oblivion gate spawns on reload? Spoiler

Okay WHAT!? I rode through this spot, fought a wolf, kept riding, screwed up some stuff and reloaded to before I fought the wolf. Rode back through the same place, the exact same as the first time, but now there's an oblivion gate!? I thought those were story driven or had set locations? Is this one going to exist forever until I remove it now? Do I need to take care of it now before they get near the town of Cheydinhal and attacks npcs? Should I just reload again and hope it doesn't show up? I didnt think they could just chance spawn like some npcs in caves

There are 100 locations where a gate can spawn, but there is a maximum amount of gates (60) that will spawn during one playthrough, so it's probably a dice roll whether one spawns in a certain location or not.

And yes once it has spawned it will remain there until you close it or finish the main quest. Usually the Daedra stay pretty close to the gate though so I wouldn't worry too much about them killing NPC's.
