In this instance, the DM could say - well there isnt anything to hide behind here, so you cant do the hide action. But if there is something to hide behind and the DM just says you cannot hide there because of his ideas about how obvious it is you are hiding there, well that contradicts 5e. DMs can contradict 5e and are even encouraged to do this if it is suitable for a particular scenario the DM wants to create, but the game sort of departs from 5e then.How many contradictory to 5e rules does a DM need before they arent playing 5e anymore. Id say about one, but obviously its a grey area.</blockquote>
