In Morrowind they use some kind of colonial era armors, with iron chestplate.

In Oblivion, they use knight armors and longswords, just like in medieval era. And the buildings are a lot more medieval (Cyrodiil style, I know, but still counts as tecnology).

In Skyrim, they use Roman-Era armors, much less protective, and one-hand swords. Solitude's structures are basically stone.

What do you guys think about that?

In both Morrowind and Skyrim, they use Romanesque armor. It was only in Oblivion that they went for full Late Medieval plate w/ barbute helmets (steel Corinthian-style helmet they used from the 13th Century to the early 16th), and I chalk that up to it being a ceremonial thing.
