Increase visibility of on-screen objects/terrain

[Jackard]

i dont like invisibility because its a poor game mechanic, not because its unrealistic

Impeding the player's vision and then abusing that impediment as an alleged form of concealment is also a poor game mechanic

so you claim

while ignoring that it adds real gameplay elements like caches and ambushes and sneaking and hiding with far less effort than implementing Line of Sight

Have to agree with Winterbrass the idea that simply moving behind a tree is 'the stealth system' isn't going to fly. Hiding objects as other objects as suggested earlier sounds like a good idea, say for example 10 boughs cover a boat and make it appear as a tree, if someone tries to interact with the tree it is revealed, or if you pass the detection roll you see a boat with a gray translucent tree shape over it (same thing the hider sees). Smaller items could appear as shrubbery.
