As I leveled up and left more and more of an impact on the world, my game started crashing like crazy.  At high levels, I was crashing multiple times a day on transitions and I had insane loading periods.

I don't think this results from having weak hardware. This sounds like a bug, which Bethesda is pretty notorious for.

This happened with multiple restarts.  It's probably related to the way the Fallout/Elder Scrolls game engine saves everything that has changed in the world.  This is what killed the PS3 version of Skyrim.  Since Fallout 4 has an absolutely massive amount of objects in the world, far more than Skyrim, that's why the game could not work on last gen hardware and those versions were scraped.  It is true, though, that the Bethesda engine does not play well with AMD, though that's true for a lot of games.
