I know the feeling...although i do not think there is only Scott's work.
Everything i read now has to compete against Earwa and Malazan. And most books fall way short of it, unfortunately.
Steven Erikson and his Malazan Book of the Fallen is on the same level of awesome as the PON and AE books, imo. The worldbuilding is at least as deep and his style of storytelling is superb as well. He has an interesting structure in his tale, a tale for once not being a linear thing with different PoVs but more a patchwork that will yield a beautiful tapestry in the end.
Erikson is an archaeologist and anthropologist and it shows in his worldbuilding and in his societies and cultures. And he also has interesting philosophical layers.
