Obviously line of sight plays into this game but how about strategic placement? That is to say does a character gain any battle advantage by say, being on top of a hill or bluff? How about hiding amongst trees?

Sadly, no. Calculating things like attacking from cover and using a height advantage would have made the combat calculations much more complex, with the result that everything takes five times as long to calculate and the whole game slows to a crawl. So BioWare decided to simply pretend that all combat takes place on a flat plane, with good visibility for all.

trees can be good when you are adopting the "running away and firing arrows" strategy popular with soloists - the enemy pathfinding is worse than yours if you're careful
