Usually, it's setting that draws me into an rpg, not system (though I prefer certain kind of and like particular systems and on the other hand, certain kind of systems are a big turn off for me, even if I like the setting, like with 7th Sea 2e...) and usually through linked products, like novels, comics, or video games, or just cool lore floating around, catching my eye. If I see a cool setting I want to play in/with, I'm willing to learn a new system. General systems disinterest me, unless I find cool setting books for them. Homebrew is cool, of course, depending on the quality.
So, for me 80% setting, 20% system.
And that's why WotC got me largely disinterested nowadays...
